Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Fresh cherries (pitted and halved)
- 100 grams Granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 500 grams Mascarpone cheese
- 200 milliliters Heavy cream
- 50 grams Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 24 pieces Ladyfinger biscuits
- 300 milliliters Brewed coffee (cooled)
- 2 tablespoons Cocoa powder (for dusting)
- 30 grams Dark chocolate (shaved, optional)
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, add the cherries, granulated sugar, and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat for 8-10 minutes until the cherries are softened and the mixture becomes syrupy. Set aside to cool completely.
In a mixing bowl, whisk the mascarpone cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture until fully combined.
Pour the brewed coffee into a shallow dish. Quickly dip each ladyfinger into the coffee, ensuring they are soaked but not soggy.
In a rectangular or square dish (about 9x9 inches), arrange a single layer of coffee-soaked ladyfingers on the bottom.
Spread half of the mascarpone mixture evenly over the ladyfingers.
Spoon half of the cooled cherry mixture over the mascarpone layer.
Repeat with another layer of coffee-soaked ladyfingers, mascarpone mixture, and cherries.
Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or preferably overnight to allow the flavors to meld.
Before serving, dust the top with cocoa powder and sprinkle with shaved dark chocolate if desired.
