GRAPEFRUIT
Salted Caramel Liqueur Bar, Mississippi River Distilling
Made with the new Mississippi River Distilling Iowish Salted Caramel Liqueur, these sweet treats
provide a perfect finish to a cookout.
Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Line
a 9×13 pan with parchment paper
or aluminum foil. Lightly spray with
cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl cream together
butter, sugar, and powdered sugar.
Add sour cream, Iowish Salted Caramel
Liqueur and mix until combined. Mix
in the flour and combine until it forms
a soft dough. Press half of the dough
in the bottom of a 9×13 dish and place
the other half of the dough into the
refrigerator. (Do your best dividing it
in half but perfection isn't necessary.)
Bake crust in preheated oven for 15
minutes.
1 cup butter softened
1 cup white sugar
1½ cups powdered sugar
½ cup sour cream
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
3½ cups flour
14 ounce caramels unwrapped
(1 bag or one 11 ounce bag of
caramel bits)
1⅓ cup heavy cream or milk
1 tablespoon Salted Caramel Iowish Cream
Liqueur
2 teaspoons coarse sea salt
While the crust is baking, melt the
caramels, heavy cream and ½ tsp
vanilla in the microwave for 1 minute.
Stir together until smooth, adding more
time in 30-45 second increments as
needed. Try and get it as smooth as you
can, depending on the type of caramel,
it might not be perfectly smooth and
that's okay! Pour caramel evenly over
the hot crust. Lightly sprinkle about 1
tsp coarse sea salt over the caramel.
Take the remaining dough out of the
refrigerator and crumble over the top
of the caramel. Return the pan to the
oven and bake for 25-30 minutes until
filling is bubbly and the top is firm. Add
remaining 1 tsp salt after caramel bars
are cooled, but before cutting. Let them
cool completely before cutting into
small squares.
