Time 35m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 17

1/4 cup plus 2tbsp unsalted butter, at room temperature
3/4 cup light brown sugar
1 large egg
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon honey
1 cup plain flour
1/2 cup bread flour
1 tablespoon cornflour
2 1/2 teaspoons ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 pinch salt
14 ounces condensed milk
1 cup dark chocolate chips
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 pinch salt

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350F and grease and line an 8x8 inch square pan.
  • Place butter and sugar into a large bowl or the bowl of your stand mixer and beat until light and fluffy, 2 mins on med-high speed.
  • Add in the egg and vanilla extract, scraping down sides as necessary and mix on med-high until well incorporated.
  • Add in the honey and mix briefly until combined.
  • Place flours, spices, baking soda and salt into a medium sized bowl and stir to combine.
  • Tip the flour mix into the egg mixture and mix on low until you have a soft dough.
  • Place 3/4 of the dough into your lined pan and push into the pan with your hands or the back of a spoon until level.
  • Place the base in the oven for 10 minutes, it will be slightly puffy and ever so slightly coloured around the edges when ready.
  • Whilst the base is baking, make the filling: place condensed milk, chocolate chips, vanilla and salt into a medium sized saucepan over a low heat and stir continuously until the chocolate melts and everything is smooth and well combined.
  • Leave to one side until the base is done baking.
  • Once baked, pour the fudge filling all over and smooth until level with a spoon/spatula.
  • Crumble the remaining 1/4 of cookie dough over the fudge filling - it's not meant to entirely cover it, so gaps are fine!
  • Place in the oven for 15-20 (mine took 17 minutes) until the cookie dough is golden brown and the filling is just set, it will be soft and wobble slightly in the middle.
  • Leave to cool completely in the pan, before slicing into 9-12 bars.
  • Bars will keep in an airtight container, at room temperature for 5 days.
