No-Bake Christmas Dessert. A really easy dessert, slightly different from the classic Christmas Log and the classic but delicious tiramisu with pandoro. This Christmas Dessert, prepared this way, is really simple and delicious; you can easily prepare it the evening before. The cream is made with mascarpone and cream, but without eggs, making it practical and safe. If you prefer the classic version, I recommend preparing the foolproof recipe for mascarpone cream with pasteurized eggs.

How to Make No-Bake Christmas Dessert
In a large bowl, soften the mascarpone and Nutella with a whisk, mixing until it becomes creamy and lump-free.
At this point, dip the cookies in the coffee milk and place them on a tray, forming the first layer that will be the base, made of 4 ladyfingers wide and 3 long.
Next, take the prepared cream and with the help of a piping bag, distribute a light layer over the base.
Then add another layer of cookies soaked in coffee and alternate the layers with cream and cookies.
Spread the cream well with a knife.
At this point, garnish with grated coconut and sugar sprinkles
