Golden Caramel Crumble Slice

 Bin Inn IMG 2911

INGREDIENTS

Caramel filling:

  • 2 cans sweetened condensed milk
  • 80g brown sugar
  • 49g golden syrup
  • 150g butter

Base & crumble topping:

  • 250g butter, softened
  • 220g brown sugar
  • 2 tsp vanilla essence
  • 225g Bin Inn Gluten Free Flour Mix with Xanthan Gum
  • 1 tsp (5g) Bin Inn Gluten Free Baking Powder
  • 70g desiccated coconut
  • 2g salt (¼ tsp)
  • 100g ground almonds or almond meal (for texture in place of oats)
  • 80g puffed rice (optional – adds lightness and crunch)

INSTRUCTIONS

Preheat oven to 160°C regular bake. Line a 20cm square or 20cm x 30cm slice tin with baking paper so it fits snugly, up the sides as well – you may need two pieces.

To make the caramel:

  1. Place condensed milk, butter, brown sugar, and golden syrup in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Stir constantly until just melted and combined — do not boil. Remove from heat and set aside.

For the base/topping mixture:

  1. Cream butter and brown sugar together until pale and fluffy (about 3 minutes). Beat in vanilla.
    Sift in the gluten free flour and baking powder. Add coconut, salt, ground almonds, and rice flakes (if using). Stir until combined.
  2. Press two thirds of this mixture evenly into the base of your tin. Use a layer of baking paper on top and press down firmly.
  3. Pour the caramel over the base and smooth out.
  4. Bake for 15 minutes. Remove from oven and allow it to sit for 5 minutes. This will help the caramel form a slight skin.
  5. Crumble the remaining mixture over the top of the caramel, spreading loosely and evenly.
  6. Return to the oven for another 25–30 minutes, until the edges are a deep golden colour and the crumble topping is lightly browned.
  7. Cool completely in the tin, then refrigerate until the caramel is firm. Slice and store in the fridge. It will keep for about a week.
