What you need to make the no-bake log

All you need to make TikTok's viral log is a few fresh, readily available ingredients. Here's the complete list to make a creamy, firm, berry-filled dessert:

Ingredients:

  • 30 ladyfingers
  • 1+1/4 cups full-fat cream (30% fat, cold)
  • 1 cup mascarpone (cold)
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon liquid vanilla extract
  • 9 oz raspberries (20 units)
  • 9 oz blueberries (60 units)
  • 1/3 cup milk

For the decoration:

  • blueberries (about 10 units)
  • 1 teaspoon powdered sugar

How to prepare log without baking

1. Prepare the cream.

Place cream, mascarpone, bowl and whisk in freezer for 15 minutes, then whip everything with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until smooth and firm.

2. Prepare the ladyfinger base.

Quickly dip the ladyfingers in milk (half or completely, depending on your preferred consistency) and arrange them on foil, forming 3 rows of 10 ladyfingers, sugar-side up.

3. Stuff with cream and berries

Spread cream on the ladyfingers and scatter raspberries and blueberries in the center. Add another light layer of cream and a row of blueberries to make the filling richer.

4. Close the log.

Fold the side ladyfingers toward the center to form a compact triangle. Wrap everything in plastic wrap and let rest in the refrigerator for at least 6 hours.

5. Decorate and serve

Remove the foil, dust with powdered sugar and add a few blueberries for an elegant finishing touch. Cut between savoy fingers for perfect slices.
