This espresso caramel fluff is what happens when coffee, caramel, and pure decadence collide. It’s light, creamy, and dangerously addictive—basically, the grown-up version of a sugar cloud. The espresso hits first, followed by the silky caramel, creating an effortlessly fancy dessert that fools people into thinking you tried. It’s perfect for coffee lovers, dessert addicts, and anyone who enjoys spooning straight from the bowl. Serve it in a glass, eat it straight from the fridge, or just pretend it’s breakfast—no judgment here.
