Easy Gluten Free Caramel Slice

Step 1

Preheat oven to 180 degrees Celsius and line a 21x31cm brownie tin with baking paper.

Step 2

In a large bowl mix the flour, coconut and brown sugar together well, ensuring no lumps can be seen. Add in the melted butter and stir well to combine.

Step 3

Tip the base mixture into the pan and with the back of a spoon press evenly across. Be sure to get into the corners well and that the base becomes solid and smooth.

Step 4

Place into the oven for 10 minutes or until the edges very very slightly start to turn golden. Once cooked, remove and allow to cool. Now you can start on your caramel filling.

Step 5

In a medium sized saucepan place the condensed milk, golden syrup and butter. Place over a medium flame and using a whisk slowly mix together until melted.

Step 6

The key here now is to keep stirring, if you let the mixture sit it will start to stick to the bottom of the pan and burn. You don't want that! So keep slowly whisking whilst the caramel thickens and becomes ever so slightly darker in colour. Once it reaches a slow boil remove from the heat.

Step 7

Pour straight over top of the biscuit base and smooth out. Place straight back into the oven for 15 minutes or until the caramel starts to golden on top. If your oven has hot spots be sure to rotate it at the half way point.

Step 8

Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely before moving onto the chocolate topping.

Step 9

In a small microwave safe bowl, place the chocolate and coconut oil. Melt in 30 second bursts until 3/4 melted together. Then allow it to melt fully by stirring constantly until you have a smooth luscious liquid. Pour directly over the caramel filling and smooth out.

Step 10

While it's still wet sprinkle the sea salt flakes over top before popping into the fridge for a good hour or so. It will be ready to slice once the chocolate has set hard.

Step 11

To slice, simply heat a sharp knife up using hot water, wipe dry, then cut your delicious slice into whatever size pieces you like. I like to cut it across and then each bar into 6 small slices, perfect for a quick snack with a cup of coffee!

Step 12

Store in the fridge for as long as they last... which won't be long...!
