Ingredients
  

For the Shortbread Base
  • 1 cup unsalted butter for dairy-free, substitute with margarine
  • ½ cup granulated sugar using brown sugar can deepen the flavor
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour swap with a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend for a gluten-free option
For the Caramel Layer
  • 1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk avoid any substitutions as it's essential for texture

Method
 

Step‑By‑Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8x8-inch baking pan with butter or non-stick spray.
  2. Cream together 1 cup of unsalted butter and ½ cup of granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Gradually mix in 2 cups of all-purpose flour until a soft, crumbly texture forms. Press the mixture into the prepared pan.
  3. Bake the shortbread base for approximately 20 minutes or until golden brown. Allow it to cool completely in the pan.
  4. In a saucepan over medium heat, combine 1 can of sweetened condensed milk and ½ cup of leftover butter. Stir for 5-7 minutes until thickened and golden. Allow to cool slightly before pouring.
  5. Spread ½ cup of seedless raspberry jam evenly over the cooled shortbread base, then pour the caramel over it.
  6. Melt 1 cup of dark chocolate chips in the microwave in 30-second intervals. Pour and spread the melted chocolate over the caramel layer. Let set at room temperature for about 30 minutes.
