This Chocolate Week (10-16 October), Meridian Foods have provided us with this superb recipe for Brazillionaire’s shortbread, a nutty twist on the traditional millionaire’s shortbread which substitutes a gooey, Brazil nut filling for the usual caramel layer.
The recipe is no-cook and easily prepared in just 15 minutes, meaning you can whip it up quickly with zero fuss. Better still, it’s made using healthy ingredients such as oats instead of flour, and coconut oil instead of butter. Just the kind of guilt-free treat we can get on board with.

Here’s how to make it:
Serves 18
100g raw whole oats
100g ground almonds
2 tbsp agave nectar
70g coconut oil, melted
90g Meridian brazil nut butter
100g vegan chocolate
Method
1 Line a loaf tin or similar sized tupperware with greaseproof paper.
2 Whizz the oats in a blender until they are a similar consistency to the ground almonds. Add the almonds and agave and whizz again, then add 2 tbsp water and blend until the mixture starts to form clumps.
3 Press the mixture into the prepared tin then freeze while you make the next layer.
4 Melt the coconut oil and combine 50g with the brazil nut butter, spread it over the oat base and return to the freezer.
5 Carefully melt the chocolate in a bowl over a pan of barely simmering water.
6 Once completely melted, remove the bowl from the pan, stir in the remaining coconut oil and allow to cool for a few minutes. When the brazil nut layer has set pour the chocolate over the top and spread to the edges.
7 Put in the fridge until everything is firm. Cut into bite size pieces and serve. Keep in the fridge.
