Combine 240 ml heavy cream with 100 g sugar until soft peaks form, then fold in 500 g mascarpone, 200 g caramel sauce, and 1 teaspoon vanilla for a smooth mixture. If you want a lighter version, swap half the mascarpone with low-fat Greek yogurt to keep it creamy yet healthier.

❄️ Ensure the espresso dip is cold or at room temperature to keep ladyfingers intact.
🧀 Use room temperature mascarpone for smooth whipping and folding, and finely chop toffee to help the tiramisu hold its shape when sliced.
