Thorntons 9 Mini Caramel Shortcake Bites

Product Information

If this tin is too spendy for your wallet ( Christmas is coming!) then rest assured you could use silicone mini muffin cups as they will be very easy to unmould or you could use Iced Jems mini baking cups which are almost exactly the same capacity. You will need to give the bites a really firm push to get them out of the Lakeland tin but look how well they turn out! Transfer the biscuits into a baking tin and press them down using your hands, or a spoon. Put the baking tin into the fridge while you make the caramel. My mother often baked these and we called them Candy Bars. It took me quite some time to realise that the thing people were calling Millionaires Shortbread - and hailed as a new thing - was something we had enjoyed forever by a different name. So, as even my children know about Millionaires Shortbread and not Candy Bars, I have given in and changed the name. Condensed Milk - Sweetened condensed milk will be the base for our caramel. Do not buy evaporated milk that comes in very similar cans!

That’s the full title of my blog and it is the best possible way I can think to describe the relationship food and I have. I’m a doctor-in-training by day but I devote great chunks of my free time to reading and researching new recipes, following favourite food writers (either electronically or in my ever expanding library of cookbooks) and then cooking, photographing and in turn, writing about food myself. To make your blood splatters, mix your red gel food colouring in a tiny bowl with the vodka to make it runnier. Use a food safe paintbrush to splatter or drop your blood on to your set white chocolate. As the splatters set and dry, the vodka will evaporate, making these safe for children. If the caramel layer isn't cool and set by the time you've made the cheesecake filling, put the bowl of cheesecake filling into the fridge until you're ready to add it to the caramel layer.

Millionaire's Cheesecake FAQ

When the ganache has set you can remove the cheesecake from the baking tin. Whip the double cream to soft peaks and put it into a piping bag fitted with an open star nozzle. For example, this Millionaire's cheesecake is no more difficult than these amazing cheesecake recipes below: raspberry and lime cheesecake - this cheesecake is a much lighter alternative than the Millionaire's cheesecake Combine the flour and butter cubes in a food processor and pulse until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs.

I thought it would be fun to turn this classic Scottish treat into a cheesecake! The Millionaire's cheesecake consists of that same shortbread base, then a layer of creamy, no-bake cheesecake, a gooey caramel layer and is topped with chocolate ganache. The chocolate ganache made more sense than a set chocolate as it will be easier to cut through without smooshing the other ingredients. Ingredients

Shortbread biscuit base

Chill in the fridge until set. Remove from the tin and cut into squares, dip your knife in hot water between cuts to help cutting through the chocolate. I promise it will be well worth the wait. This Millionaire's Cheesecake is like no other dessert I've ever made! Make-ahead dessert
