No-Bake Christmas Dessert

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.
