These Millionaire’s Shortbread Cookies are a delightful treat that combines rich vanilla shortbread, creamy chocolate ganache, and silky dulce de leche. Perfect for gatherings or as a special homemade gift, they are easy to prepare and utterly delectable.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 recipe vanilla bean shortbread cookies
- 5 oz semi-sweet chocolate chips or chopped chocolate
- 5 oz heavy whipping cream
- 1 can (13.4 oz) dulce de leche caramel
- 1 bag (8 oz) english toffee bits
Instructions
- Bake and cool the shortbread cookies as instructed. Alternatively, store-bought shortbread cookies can be used.
- To prepare the chocolate ganache, place chocolate chips in a bowl. Heat the cream in a saucepan over medium heat until it's hot and steaming, but not boiling. Pour the heated cream over the chocolate and let it sit for several minutes, then stir until smooth.
- Allow the ganache to cool at room temperature for 30-60 minutes until it thickens slightly. To speed up the process, place the bowl in the fridge and stir every 10 minutes until it's the right consistency.
- Fit a disposable 12-inch piping bag with a coupler and tip #12, then fill with the cooled ganache. Pipe a ring of ganache onto each cooled cookie.
- Prepare another piping bag with the dulce de leche. Pipe it into the center of the chocolate ganache ring. For easier piping, warm the dulce de leche in a microwave for 30 seconds at 50% power until it softens.
- To finish, dip the tops of the cookies into the toffee bits, allowing the toffee to attach to the ganache and caramel.
Notes
Use high-quality chocolate for the ganache for richer flavor.
Make sure the dulce de leche is warm enough to pipe smoothly; this makes the assembly easier.
