What can I use instead of mascarpone or cream cheese?
For the caramel cream, stick to butter and condensed milk as listed. Cream cheese isn’t required, though it can be used to thicken the filling if desired.
Can I make this dessert gluten-free?
Absolutely. Use your favorite gluten-free cake mix or substitute the all-purpose flour with a 1:1 gluten-free blend.
Is the caramel filling too sweet?
It’s sweet, yes, but perfectly balanced by the rich cocoa cake and slightly bitter ganache. If you prefer, reduce the powdered sugar slightly or add a pinch of salt.

Yes! This layered dessert is ideal for prepping the day before a party or holiday. Just keep it covered and chilled.
