Vegan millionaires shortbread with vegan shortbread base, vegan caramel filling and vegan chocolate on top!\u00a0<\/h2>\n

Vegan bakes<\/h3>\n

I think I have lost count of how many millionaires shortbread themed recipes are on my blog\u2026 even if they\u2019re the cake form, or the cupcake form, I have SO MANY. I just adore it. However, none of them are vegan so far!<\/p>\n

This is partly because I am not vegan myself, so I have never needed to bake any.. but it\u2019s also because for these, using vegan alternatives makes it harder as they can be harder to come by. Regular condensed milk is available in all shops \u2013 and so easy to find. Vegan condensed milk? Very few shops sell it in comparison!\u00a0<\/p>\n

Vegan millionaires shortbread<\/h3>\n

I have seen many vegan millionaires shortbread recipes now that use medjool dates, cashew nuts, maple syrup etc\u2026 and whilst I have literally no issue with this whatsoever, they\u2019re just not ingredients that I commonly buy for my baking.\u00a0<\/p>\n

I wanted to make my vegan millionaires shortbread as similar to my regular millionaires shortbread recipes as I could, so that they fit my style better, and so that they\u2019re easier for me! The good thing is as well, is you only have to alternate three ingredients.. the condensed milk, the butter, and the chocolate!\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Base<\/h3>\n

My shortbread base for this recipe is the exact same as my other millionaires recipes, apart from the butter I use. I used the Stork block for these as it\u2019s a very good dairy free & vegan butter that\u2019s firm, and found in most supermarkets! You may think \u201cSTORK ISN\u2019T DAIRY FREE?!\u201d but the foil kind is! It\u2019s amazing.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The only difference in how you make the shortbread, is that I found it\u2019s better if you bake it for a smidge longer than the usual shortbread recipe! It may be because the butter is softer than normal butter is, but who knows\u2026 a couple more minutes doesn\u2019t hurt!\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Caramel\u00a0<\/h3>\n

For the caramel, it\u2019s similar to my other recipe on my millionaires flapjacks<\/a>, but actually quite different. I tried this caramel several different ways, but finally cracked it! For the butter, I used the Stork block again, and then also this amazing vegan condensed milk.<\/p>\n

Honestly, it\u2019s a little life changing.. and it works wonderfully. I had to change the quantities of the other ingredients that I\u2019ve used ever so slightly as the tin size of the vegan condensed milk are different (smaller), but otherwise the ethos is the same!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Vegan condensed milk<\/h3>\n

I tried using my other caramel from most of my other millionaires recipes such as my Mini Egg millionaires, but I just didn\u2019t like it as much. It didn\u2019t set as well for me, and the colour was too light. Doing it this way, with the light brown sugar means you get a much better caramel with the amazing vegan condensed milk.<\/p>\n

You have to be careful when making this caramel, as always! You want the temperature of the caramel to be about a medium heat, and definitely not really high. You must keep stirring, ensuring nothing is being left on the bottom of the pan so you don\u2019t get any burnt bits in your caramel!\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Vegan chocolate<\/h3>\n

For the chocolate side of it, I used dark chocolate that is naturally dairy free and vegan. You need to make sure to check the labels of the brand you choose to buy, as some can still contain dairy in some way, but often the supermarket own cheap bars are naturally dairy free!<\/p>\n

I liked to keep my vegan millionaires simple as the caramel and dark chocolate with the buttery shortbread compliment each other so well, they don\u2019t need any other additions. You can add anything you wish as extra to make the bake look lovely and pretty! I hope you love this recipe as much as I do! Enjoy! x<\/p>\n
