  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • pinch of salt
For the topping

  • 25 gram white chocolate

Equipment

  • Square baking tin 20 x 20 cm / 8 x 8 inch (or similar)
  • Handmixer
  • double boiler
  • Piping bag

INSTRUCTIONS (how to make this recipe):

  • Preheat the oven to 175 degrees Celsius / 347 Fahrenheit with top and bottom heat.
  • Mix all the ingredients for the base together until you have a nice compact dough and spread it over a greased baking tin.
  • Bake the base in the oven for about 15-20 minutes until the edges are lightly golden brown.
  • Leave the base to cool.
  • Stir the dulce de leche/caramel until smooth or beat with a mixer and spread over the top of the base.
  • Leave to set in the fridge for half an hour.
  • Melt the dark chocolate and white chocolate (separately) in a double boiler.
  • Spread the dark chocolate over the caramel layer.
  • Put the white chocolate in a piping bag and pipe lines (horizontally).
  • Use a skewer to draw lines (vertically). Leave to harden in the refrigerator (at least 1 hour) and then cut into slices.* Enjoy!
Good to know:
*To get nice straight slices, use a very sharp knife and heat it under hot running water (then dry it) each time before cutting.
