Warm Caramel Cloud Slice Recipes

CARAMEL SLICE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 180°C/350°F (fan 160°C)
• Grease and line a 28x 18cm (lamington pan) / 7" x 11" rectangle pan with baking/parchment paper (Note 2). Have overhang for ease of removal.
• Mix together Base ingredients and press into a pan (I use an egg flip)
• Bake for 15 minutes until the surface is golden. Cool in fridge if you have time (Note 3).
• Lower oven to oven to 160°C/320°F (fan 140°C)
• Place butter, sugar and vanilla in a saucepan over medium low heat. When the butter is melted, whisk to combine with sugar, then just leave it until it comes to a simmer.
• When bubbles appear, add condensed milk. Whisk constantly for 5 minutes (Note 4), until you start getting some big slow bubbles on the base.
• Once bubbles start appearing, whisk for 1 minute, then pour onto Base. Tilt pan to spread evenly.
• Bake for 12 minutes. Don't worry if you get splotchy brown bits (this happens with ovens that don't distribute heat evenly).
• Cool on counter for 20 minutes then refrigerate 30 minutes - bottom of pan should be warm but surface cool (not cold) to touch. (Note 5)
• Place chocolate and oil in a microwave proof bowl. Microwave in 30 second bursts, stirring in between, until chocolate is fully melted (takes me 4 x 30 sec).
• Pour over caramel, spread with spatula. Then gently shake pan to make the surface completely flat.
• Refrigerate 1 hour or until set. Remove from fridge and leave out for 5 minutes to take chill out of chocolate slightly. Then cut into bars or squares to serve!

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 180°C.
• For the base, combine the flours, coconut, sugar and butter in a large bowl until all the ingredients are wet, and sticking together. Press into a lined slice tin (about 20x30cm).
• Bake for 15 minutes or until lightly browned. Allow to cool slightly.
• To make the caramel, place the condensed milk, butter and golden syrup in a small saucepan and whisk over a gentle heat until simmering. Continue simmering until the mixture is golden brown and thickened somewhat (this takes about 8 minutes).
• Allow the caramel to cool slightly before pouring over the base and spreading evenly.
• To make the topping, place the chocolate and oil in a small, heatproof glass bowl and stand over a pot of simmering water (ensuring that the bottom of the bowl does not make contact with the water). Stir until the chocolate is melted and smooth.
• Spread the chocolate evenly over the caramel. Place in the fridge until firm. Cut into squares, rectangles or triaangles!
