millionaire shortbread

This beauties are able to hit the sweet spot, so I am really happy to share this recipe with all of you out there that like me need a little sweet something after a meal. They are refined sugar free, but the salted caramel filling is made with dates and one little square still does contain 7.7gr of sugar (1.5 teaspoons of your 6 per day allowed!!). But the beautiful thing about making them yourself is that you can suit them to your tastes: I make the ganache topping with 85% dark chocolate, so that the bitterness of the chocolate can cut through the sweetness of the dates. This recipe is gluten free, refined sugar free and dairy free.
