Ingredients

55gMelted Butter

150gDark Brown Sugar

150gCubed Salted Butter

1 tspSweet Cinnamon

100gChopped Pecans

397gCondensed Milk

200gDark Chocolate

The beloved Millionaires Shortbread infused with the all best parts of a Pecan Pie. A buttery shortbread base filled with a pecan caramel topped with dark chocolate and toasted pecans - literally the best of both worlds!

Method

Add the crushed biscuits to a large mixing bowl and pour over the 55g of melted butter. Mix it together and pour into the greased tin. Spread the mix evenly across the base of the tin and up the sides, use a glass to help if needed.

Gently heat the sugar and 150g butter in a heavy based, non-stick pan, stirring until melted. Add cinnamon and the condensed milk and bring to a rapid boil, stirring continuously. Cook for around a minute or until the filling has thickened. Remove from the heat and fold through the chopped pecans.

Pour the caramel over the base, then allow to cool slightly until the top is firm enough hold your chocolate.

Carefully melt your dark chocolate, pour over the top and smooth.

While still melted, quickly place your toasted pecans around the top in classic pecan pie fashion.

Chill the fridge for a hour or until the caramel is firm enough to slice.
