Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350ºF.

Step 2

In a large bowl, combine flour, cornstarch, sugar, salt, and melted butter. Mix until fully combined and a crumbly dough remains.

Step 3

Line an 8×8 cake pan with parchment paper on all four sides (this is necessary for removing the end product). Place dough in the pan and press down firmly to make sure the dough is compact.

Step 4

Place shortbread in the oven and bake for 35-40 minutes. Edges will be slightly golden brown and shortbread will be fully cooked through.

Step 5

Place both chocolates in a medium mixing bowl.

Step 6

In a saucepan, melt butter. Add brown sugar and bring to a boil. Cook for 2 minutes. Add heavy cream and salt and boil for an additional 1-2 minutes, then lower the heat and simmer salted caramel for 6-7 minutes (the consistency should be slightly thicker). Remove salted caramel from heat and allow it to cool down for 1-2 minutes.

Step 7

Pour the salted caramel over the chopped chocolate and stir until the chocolate fully melts and the ganache thickens. To ensure an extra silky smooth ganache, use an immersion blender.

Step 8

Pour the salted caramel ganache over the cooled-down shortbread. Garnish with flaky salt and/or cacao nibs (optional). Refrigerate for 2-3 hours or overnight.
