What is a “millionaire bar”?

The Millionaire Bar, aka “Millionaire’s Shortbread” or “Caramel Square” is basically a bar made with a shortbread biscuit base, a caramel middle and a chocolate topping. I made my own take on this famous dessert by making it gluten-free, vegan, and stuffed with tahini-based caramel. very good.

Can I use a different flour?

As with how I tested the bars, I highly recommend using almond flour for best results. You can try using gluten-free oatmeal flour instead of almond flour, but you may need to add a little more melted coconut oil for a moister feel.

Can I exchange it for tahini?

I prefer to use tahini for the right flavor, but you can also use natural dripping nut butters like almond butter or cashew butter.

Make a Tahini Caramel Millionaire Bar in 4 Steps

1. Bake the crust. Mix all shortbread crust ingredients together until a thick crumb texture forms. Press crust evenly into an 8×8-inch mold lined with parchment paper and bake for 10 minutes.
2. Add caramel. Place the tahini caramel ingredients in a saucepan over medium-low heat and stir until smooth. Pour it over the slightly cooled shortbread dough and place in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes until the caramel hardens.
3. Add chocolate. Melt the chocolate chips in a microwave or pan with a little coconut oil and pour the melted chocolate over the set caramel layer.
4. Cool, cut and serve. Place the bars in the refrigerator for 1 hour until the chocolate is fully set, then remove the bars from the molds, sprinkle with sea salt, slice and serve.

Remember These Important Tips

• Please use the correct pan. Be sure to use an 8×8 inch pan for proper shape and consistency. Even if it’s a little bigger, like a 9×9 inch pan, the bar will flatten too much.
• Fill with almond flour. As with brown sugar, use packed almond flour (make sure it’s a fine blanched almond flour).
• Have patience. Allow the caramel and chocolate layers to cool completely so the bars stick together. I know it’s tempting, but bear with me.

How to store and freeze these bars

• To save: These vegan millionaire bars should be kept covered in the refrigerator until ready to eat. If you store it in the refrigerator, it will be delicious for about a week.
• To freeze: feel free to keep Freezerable container It can be stored in the freezer for up to 1 month. If you store it in the freezer, be sure to let it sit on the counter for a few minutes before eating to soften it a bit.

  Stuffed with finely blanched almond flour (I use Bob’s Red Mill)

  tablespoon
  melted coconut oil

  tablespoon
  pure maple syrup
• 1/2
  tea spoon
  vanilla extract

  tea spoon

  cup
  coconut oil

  tea spoon
  vanilla extract
• 1/2
  tea spoon
  sea ​​salt
• For the chocolate layer:
• 3/4
  cup
  chocolate chips (dairy-free if desired)
• 1
  tablespoon
  coconut oil
• Fine sea salt to sprinkle on top

procedure

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line an 8-by-8-inch square mold with parchment paper. A 9×9 inch pan may be too large, so it is important to use an 8×8 inch.

2. Add almond flour, coconut oil, maple syrup, vanilla extract and salt to a medium bowl. Mix with a fork until a nice thick crumb texture forms. Add to pan and use fingers to press evenly into pan. Bake for 10 minutes. Let the crust cool for 10 minutes before adding the caramel.

3. Next, make salted tahini caramel. Add the tahini, maple syrup, coconut oil, vanilla extract, and sea salt to a medium saucepan and cook over medium-low heat, stirring frequently, about 2 minutes. Pour over slightly cooled dough.

4. Place in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to 1 hour or more to harden the caramel. It doesn’t take much longer than this, but if you’re impatient, putting it in the freezer for 15-20 minutes will speed things up.

5. After 30 minutes, form the chocolate layer. Add the chocolate chips and coconut oil to a microwave-safe bowl and microwave on high in 30-second increments, stirring until the chocolate is completely melted. If you prefer, you can melt the chocolate and coconut oil in a small saucepan over low heat.

6. Pour over the caramel layer and tilt the pan side to side to distribute the melted chocolate evenly. Place in refrigerator for 1 hour until chocolate is fully set and bars are cool.

7. Remove bars from pan, sprinkle with fine sea salt and cut into 16 squares. fun! Store bars covered in refrigerator until ready to serve.

Recipe memo

If you don’t want to use almond flour, we recommend hazelnut flour. You can substitute gluten-free oat flour for the almond flour, but you may need to add a little more melted coconut oil for a moister feel.
