Caramel Slice
This caramel slice is such a classic dessert recipe. Nothing beats taking a bite into a piece of caramel slice, starting with the biscuit base, the smooth caramel middle and chocolate top.
While I have featured plenty of slice recipes that I love, this caramel slice takes the top spot as my absolute favourite. It’s such a classic slice that most of us grew up with, and it just never gets old.
There is just something about that soft, sticky middle caramel layer. I could quite happily just eat that caramel by the spoonful.
This delicious slice might look impressive, but it’s actually quite easy to make. The hardest part is waiting for it to set in the fridge!
How to make caramel slice
Ready to dive into this delicious recipe. Before you make a start, line a slice tine with baking paper and set aside, and preheat the oven to 180c.
To make the biscuit base layer, add the butter to a large microwave safe bowl and microwave until melted. Add the sugar and flour to the melted butter, and mix well until all ingredients are well combined and a dough has formed.
Press the dough evenly into the prepared slice tin, using your fingers or the back of a spoon. Place the slice tin in the preheated oven and bake for around 15 minutes, or until the dough has cooked through and is starting to turn golden. Set aside to cool slightly while you make a start on the caramel layer.
To make the caramel, add the extra butter, entire tin of sweetened condensed milk and brown sugar to a saucepan and place over a low heat. Stir until the butter has melted, the continue stirring for around 5 minutes, or until the mixture bubbles and has thickened.
Immediately pour the caramel over the biscuit base, and return to the oven for around 10 minutes, or until golden. Allow to cool completely.
Once the slice has cooled, make a start on the chocolate layer. Add the chocolate and coconut oil (or vegetable oil if you prefer) to a small microwave safe bowl. Microwave in small bursts until the chocolate has melted, stirring in between each burst. Stir until the chocolate is smooth.
Pour the melted chocolate over the cooled slice and spread evenly. Place the slice in the fridge to set, overnight of possible.
Once the slice has set, slice and serve. Store any leftover slice in an airtight container in the fridge.
