For the Shortbread Crust:
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
For the Caramel Filling:
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
1/4 cup heavy cream
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon salt
For the Topping:
2 tablespoons coarse sea salt (or to taste)
Add Chocolate: For a chocolatey twist, drizzle melted chocolate over the caramel filling once it’s set, or layer chocolate on top of the shortbread crust before adding the caramel filling.
Nutty Version: Add chopped pecans or walnuts to the caramel layer for extra crunch and flavor.
Different Salt: Experiment with flavored sea salts, such as smoked sea salt or Himalayan pink salt, for a unique twist on the classic salt topping.
Dried Fruit: Top with dried cranberries or chopped dried apricots for an additional layer of flavor.
