- They're gonna become peas in a mixer.
Today on the Edgy Veg, I am going to show you how to make
Millionaire Shortbread for the millionaire in all of us.
I could really use a million dollars this holiday season.
But instead we'll just have to make do
with our Millionaire Shortbread.
It's just as good, right?

If you don't know what Millionaire Shortbread is,
we have that in common.
I know it was invented in 1692 by a millionaire
who spent all his money on shortbread covered in caramel,
toast and chocolate.
So that's what we're gonna make today.
Today on Who Wants to Be a Millionaire Shortbread.
Meet our contestants.
Contestant number one: flour.
Contestant number two: baking powder.
Contestant number three: pink Himalayan rock salt.
Watch out for this contestant.
She's salty.
To help our contestants so we have a whisk
as a lifeline.
I've definitely watched the show in the last 10 years
and know how this goes.
All three of our contestants have a chance to become
a millionaires shortbread!
Now let's meet our wet contestants.
Two sticks of creamy butter,
and to sweeten things up, sugar.
To make them even better than they are, bind them as a team,
we're gonna cream them together.
They come together as one,
but now we're gonna take the first three contestants
and mix them with the wet contestants.
And then they will all be millionaires shortbread!
Yeah.
Ooh, poof!
Oh, I missed half of it.
I'm an expert, trust me!
And mix.
Now we want our contestants to mix together
really really well for about two minutes
or until they resemble small little crumbles,
kind of like peas.
Plot twist!
We have two more contestants.
At a low speed, we're going to add some vanilla
and some almond milk.
You can also use soy or rice.
Hmm, yummy!
Now that our contestants are mixed together,
we're going to test their stamina
by putting them in a casserole dish
and throwing them into the oven for some heat.
You really want to make sure
that you're pressing the contestants into the baking pan
and evenly disperse them.
You want them all to get the equal amount of heat
so they can become millionaires shortbread!
We've heated the oven to 350 and, contestants,
we've put 20 minutes on the clock.
Alright, audience, what do you think
we are going to make next?
A, caramel;
B, dirt;
C, pinecones;
or D, candy canes?
Leave your guess in the comment section below to win
literally nothing!
This is an arbitrary game with arbitrary prizes.
If you guessed A, caramel, you were correct.
We are going to top our shortbread with caramel.
So we're gonna need vegan butter, condensed coconut milk,
brown rice syrup, and brown sugar,
and we're gonna cook that for about 20 minutes
till it reaches 250 degrees Fahrenheit.
After about 20 minutes you're gonna add in your vanilla.
Now that our contestants are officially shortbread,
we're gonna cover them in hot caramel sauce.
(light music)
Alright, audience, we have one more thing
to put on our shortbread and caramel.
What is it?
A, moths;
B, soil;
C, chocolate;
and D, mistletoe?
If you guessed C, chocolate, you're right.
You win a prize!
Your prize is the full recipe.
Link in the description box below.
I'm gonna take two packages of chocolate
and melt it in the microwave.
I like to do this at 30-second intervals.
Only one and a half packages fits in this bowl,
I didn't think ahead.
But I'm gonna put it in the microwave.
(light music)
Now that we've smoothed out the chocolate,
I'm gonna put it into the fridge for like three hours.
Thanks to the magic of YouTube,
you'll see this in just a second though.
(light music)
After three hours in the fridge and a cutting session
that you should probably do with a warm knife,
trust me, I learned, we have done ta-da-da
these cute little guys.
Look how cute they are.
We have our chocolate, my favorite layer,
and we have caramel, and then we have shortbread.
Let's see if it makes me feel like a millionaire.
Hmm.
You can't have any.
It's all mine.
So definitely make this, it is the perfect holiday treat.
It's rich, it's comforting, it's creamy,
it's chocolaty, it's caramel.
It's all my favorite things.
Alright, guys, I'm gonna go devour this
