FAQ:
Q: Can I use cream cheese instead of mascarpone?
A: Yes, cream cheese gives a slightly tangier flavor and works well as a substitute.
Q: What type of chocolate is best for the frosting?
A: Dark chocolate (at least 60% cocoa) balances the sweetness of the dessert, but milk chocolate can also be used for a milder taste.
Q: How long does it need to chill?
A: A minimum of 4 hours is needed, but overnight chilling yields the best results.
Q: Can I use whipped topping instead of heavy cream?
