Pre-heat your oven to 160C Fan/180C/350F/Gas Mark 4, line a 8" square tin with greaseproof or baking paper. I grease the tin first with a little butter to help the paper stick to it
To make the shortbread biscuit base mix the caster sugar and butter together into a bowl until creamy, ideally using an electric stand mixer with the paddle attachment
Add the plain flour and mix in until a dough forms
Then add the freeze dried raspberries and white chocolate chips and mix in briefly until evenly distributed
Press the shortbread base into the tin with your fingers until compact and even
Bake the shortbread biscuit base for 20-25 minutes, until lightly golden, then leave to cool fully in the tin
To make the caramel, put all of the ingredients into a pan on a low heat and stir until everything is melted together
Bring the mixture to the boil, stirring continuously, and let it boil for 5-7 minutes until thick and golden (I boiled mine for 6 minutes). This instruction is for gas hobs, for induction hobs, I find that simmering for 10-12 minutes works best
Take the mixture off the heat, then pour the caramel over the top of the shortbread base
Put into the fridge to set for at least 2 hours, or overnight if you prefer
Melt the chocolate in the microwave. Break into pieces and put in a microwave safe bowl. Blast for 30 seconds, then stir, then blast in 10 second intervals stirring between each one until melted
Pour the chocolate over the caramel and smooth it out, tap the tin onto your work surface a few times to remove any air bubbles and to create an even surface
Sprinkle over the freeze dried raspberries
You can set the chocolate in the fridge for a quicker result, or leave at room temperature to set
The best way I've found to slice it is to firstly make sure that the chocolate has set and that it is at room temperature. If the millionaire's shortbread is cold, the chocolate is very likely to crack as you slice it. Secondly, use a very sharp knife that is longer than the shortbread. This means you can slice through it in one motion. If you like you can gently score the chocolate on top to work out the sizes of the squares first. Then, with an even pressure, gently saw the knife through the chocolate, then push it through the caramel and shortbread
Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for 5-7 days, kept in the fridge it will last for up to 2 weeks
