Caramel Slice

Cultural Context

Originating from Australia, the Caramel Slice is a beloved no-bake dessert that combines a crunchy biscuit base with a rich caramel filling and a smooth chocolate topping. Traditionally enjoyed with coffee or as a sweet treat at gatherings, it reflects the Australian penchant for simple yet indulgent desserts. Today, variations abound, with some incorporating nuts or different types of chocolate, making it a versatile favorite in many households.

6 servings
Servings4
125 g butter
1 cup flour
0.5 cup desiccated coconut
0.5 cup brown sugar
250 g butter
1 cup brown sugar
0.5 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
790 g sweetened condensed milk
360 g milk chocolate
vegetable oil
1

Melt 125 g of butter in a pot.

2

In a bowl, mix 1 cup of flour, 0.5 cup of desiccated coconut, and 0.5 cup of brown sugar until you reach a wet consistency.

3

Spread the mixture over a lined baking tray, pressing gently for an even thickness.

4

Bake in the oven for about 10 to 12 minutes at 160° C until lightly colored and hardened.

5

In a pot, add 250 g of butter, 1 cup of brown sugar, and 0.5 teaspoon of salt. Melt and combine.

6

Once melted, add 1 tablespoon of vanilla extract and 790 g of sweetened condensed milk, whisking continuously over medium heat until combined and slow bubbles appear.

7

Let the caramel cool for about 15 minutes before pouring it over the cooled biscuit base.

8

Lower the oven temperature to 140° C and bake the caramel for about 15 minutes to get a little darker and form deep bubbles.

9

Melt 360 g of milk chocolate in a pot (or microwave) and add a drizzle of vegetable oil to prevent cracking.

10

Pour the melted chocolate over the caramel layer, spreading it evenly without pressing too hard.

11

Refrigerate for at least 2 to 3 hours or overnight until set.

12

Once set, run a knife down the sides to disconnect from the tray, then lift it out using the baking paper.
