Quick & Easy Mascarpone No-Bake Cheesecake

Delicate cool dessert — bliss in every spoon! No-bake cheesecake with mascarpone is especially popular in the summer — because it can be decorated with fresh berries. It is complemented by embossed blackberries and a creamy pattern based on these berries. In winter, blackberries can be replaced with seasonal fruits and berries.
