Ingredients
Scale
- 190 g unsalted butter
- 85 g caster sugar
- 250 g plain flour
- 2 tsp ground ginger
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 tsp nutmeg
- 1/2 tsp allspice
- 200 g unsalted butter
- 3 tbsp caster sugar
- 4 tbsp golden syrup
- 397 g condensed milk
- 300 g milk chocolate
- 2 tsp ground ginger
- Gingerbread biscuits
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 180C or 160C fan, and line a 9x9inch square tin with parchment paper.
- Cream together the sugar and butter until smooth.
- Add in the flour, ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg and allspice until a dough is formed.
- Firmly press the mixture into the bottom of the tin and bake in the oven for 20-25 minutes until pale golden on top.
- Once baked, remove from the oven and leave to the side.
- In a large saucepan pour the condensed milk, butter, sugar, and golden syrup and melt on a low medium heat until the sugar has dissolved.
- Once the sugar has dissolved, turn the heat up high and let the mixture come to boiling point and boil for 5-7 minutes stirring constantly so that the mixture does not catch.
- The mixture will be ready when it has changed to a slightly darker golden colour, and has thickened to a soft fudge texture.
- Pour the caramel onto the shortbread base and leave to set for an hour in the fridge.
- Once set, melt the chocolate, stir in the ginger, and pour over the caramel.
- Put some crushed and whole gingerbread men on top of the chocolate, along with some of your favourite sprinkles, and leave to set in the fridge until solid. About 1-2 hours.
- Cut your shortbread up, and enjoy.
Notes
- This will keep in an airtight container for at least 1 week.
- If your caramel is rock solid, let it set at room temperature.
- If you struggle to cut your shortbread without the chocolate cracking, set it at room temperature.
- You can use other flavour chocolate on the top if you wish.
