Gluten-Free Pandoro Star is the perfect dessert to serve at the Christmas lunch and perfect for the whole family, even for those who cannot consume dairy. It is prepared in a short time; after slicing the gluten-free pandoro and preparing the egg-free mascarpone cream, the dessert is ready to assemble. It can also be prepared in advance and stored in the freezer, transferred to the fridge overnight, and ready to enjoy by lunchtime. For the lactose-free version, use lactose-free or plant-based products in the same quantities.
