No-Bake Christmas Dessert

No-Bake Christmas Dessert. An easy spoon dessert, a bit different from the traditional Christmas Log and the classic but delicious Pandoro Tiramisu. The Christmas Dessert, prepared this way, is truly simple and delightful; you can easily prepare it the night before. The cream is made with mascarpone and cream, but without eggs, making it practical and safe. If instead, you prefer to stick with the classic, I recommend preparing the foolproof recipe for mascarpone cream with pasteurized eggs.
