Ingredients
For the Base:
- 1 pack of sponge cake or ladyfingers
- Optional: a few tablespoons of milk to soften the sponge
For the Cream Filling:
- 1 cup sweetened condensed milk
- 1 cup heavy cream (or whipping cream)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the Caramel Topping:
- 1/2 cup caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade)

Instructions
- Prepare the Base:
- If using sponge cake, slice it into thin layers. Optionally, sprinkle a little milk over the sponge to soften it.
- Make the Cream Filling:
- In a bowl, mix sweetened condensed milk, heavy cream, vanilla extract, and powdered sugar.
- Whisk until smooth and slightly thickened. No blender needed—just a whisk or spoon works fine.
- Assemble the Dessert:
- In a serving dish, layer the sponge cake at the bottom.
- Spread a generous layer of the cream filling over the sponge.
- Repeat layers if desired, ending with a layer of cream on top.
- Add Caramel Topping:
- Pour caramel sauce evenly over the top layer.
- Optionally, sprinkle a pinch of sea salt for a salted caramel twist.
- Chill:
- Refrigerate for at least 2–3 hours, or until firm and set.
- Serve:
- Slice and enjoy this creamy, caramel-loaded delight!
Tips
- For extra flavor, add crushed nuts (like almonds or pecans) between layers.
- Use chilled cream for a firmer filling.
- You can make individual servings in cups or jars for parties.
- Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days.
- For a chocolate twist, drizzle melted chocolate over the caramel before serving.
