Tips

To accommodate dietary restrictions or personal preferences, you can easily substitute certain ingredients in this recipe. If you have a nut allergy or prefer a different flavor, you can use a different type of sponge cake, such as vanilla or chocolate. Instead of coffee-infused mascarpone cream, you can try using a flavored cream or even a fruit puree for a refreshing twist. Additionally, you can replace crushed hazelnuts with crushed almonds or any other type of nuts for a different texture. The homemade salted caramel sauce can be swapped with a different type of sauce, such as chocolate or raspberry, to create a different flavor combination. Finally, if you don't have macaron cookies on hand, you can use any other type of small, decorative sweet treat to add that extra touch.
