This vegan millionaire shortbread recipe is sweet, simple, and ready in an hour! I&#39;ll show you how to make a vegan shortbread crust, caramel centre and chocolate topping using 7 ingredients.

Vegan Millionaire shortbread

All-Purpose Flour (250 grams)

Vegan Butter (175 grams)

Sugar (75 grams)

Sweetened Condensed Coconut Milk (320 grams)

Vegan Butter (100 grams)

Dark Brown Sugar (100 grams)

Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips (150 grams)

tbsp Coconut Oil (14 grams)

Preheat oven to 350 F. Line an 8x8 brownie pan with parchment paper or grease the sides and bottom with vegan butter. 

In a mixing bowl combine flour, sugar, and salt. Next, you’re going to cut in the butter. I started this process with a dough cutter tool and finished kneading it by hand once the butter wasn’t so messy, but you can easily do the whole thing by hand. Knead the dough until there is no loose flour left. Pour the dough into the brownie pan and press it firmly into the bottom of the pan until it is evenly spread.

Take a fork and prick holes throughout the dough and then place in the oven for 20 minutes. Do not forget to set the timer like I always do! When it’s ready, remove it from the oven and either put it in the freezer/outside to cool or if you have time you can leave it on the counter to cool it will just take longer.

Shortbread Crust

In a medium saucepan combine, 1 can of sweetened condensed coconut milk, half a cup of butter, and half a cup of dark brown sugar on low-medium heat, stirring frequently. Once all the ingredients have dissolved and mixed into each other, turn the heat up to medium-high and bring the caramel sauce to a boil stirring constantly. When it begins to boil turn the heat back down to low stirring constantly for 10 minutes to thicken. 

Once the caramel sauce is ready, pour over the cooled shortbread crust. Tap the sides and gently bump the bottom to help spread the caramel sauce and get rid of any air bubbles. Place in the freezer to set.

Vegan Caramel Centre

Pour 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips and 1 tbsp coconut oil into a glass container (Tupperware or measuring cup). Place the container in a pan with water on medium heat and melt ingredients into each other mixing frequently. 

When the chocolate is melted and combined pour over the cooled caramel centre. Ensure an even spread across the top. Place in fridge to set. 

Top with your favourite toppings (ours is flaky salt) cut the squares however you like, serve, and enjoy feeling like a millionaire! 

Chocolate Topping

Vegan Guava Cream Cheese Pastries (Pastelillitos)

puff pastry

Goya guava paste

oz vegan cream cheese

vegan butter

sugar

Thaw your frozen puff pastry sheet. Leave out at room temperature for about 45 minutes, or until is easy to unfold. You can also leave it in the fridge to thaw overnight. 

Unfold the puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface. Use a rolling pin to gently flatten the puff pastry with a rolling pin. Cut the puff pastry sheet into thirds horizontally, and into fourths vertically to form 12 squares. 

Scoop about a teaspoon each of guava paste and vegan cream cheese onto each pastry square. 

Melt the vegan butter in the microwave. Brush a little vegan butter on the edges of the pastry squares. Fold the pastry in half over the filling, crimping the edges with a fork. 

Poke holes on the tops of each pastry with a fork. Then brush the tops of the pastries with vegan butter, then pop in the oven for 20 minutes until fluffy and golden. 

Once done, let the pastries cool for about 5 minutes on a cooling rack. Sift a little powdered sugar on the bottom of the container you plan to store the pastries. Transfer the pastries to the container, and sift the rest of the powered sugar over the top of them. 

Store in an air-tight container for about 3 days. These are best eaten straight out of the oven. Reheat in a toaster oven or the microwave.
