Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 large Egg Yolks
  • ¾ cup Granulated Sugar, divided
  • 16 oz Mascarpone Cheese, at room temperature
  • 1½ cups Heavy Cream, cold
  • 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
  • 1½ cups Strong Brewed Coffee or Espresso, cooled
  • ½ cup Amaretto Liqueur
  • Approx. 48 Ladyfingers (Savoiardi)
  • 1 (15 oz) can Dark Sweet Cherries in syrup, drained and chopped
  • 2 tbsp Reserved Cherry Syrup
  • Unsweetened Cocoa Powder, for dusting
  • Optional Garnish: Fresh cherries, shaved dark chocolate, toasted almonds

Instructions

  1. Prepare Cream Base: Beat egg yolks with ½ cup sugar until pale and thick (3–5 min). Add mascarpone and vanilla, mix on low until smooth.
  2. Whip Cream: In another bowl, beat heavy cream with remaining ¼ cup sugar to stiff peaks.
  3. Fold Together: Gently fold whipped cream into mascarpone mixture in thirds until just combined.
  4. Soaking Liquid: Mix cooled coffee, Amaretto, and 2 tbsp cherry syrup in a shallow dish.
  5. Layer 1: Quickly dip 16 ladyfingers, arrange in 9×13 dish. Spread ⅓ of cream over top. Sprinkle half the chopped cherries.
  6. Layer 2: Dip 16 more ladyfingers, layer over cherries. Spread another ⅓ of cream. Add remaining chopped cherries.
  7. Layer 3: Dip final ladyfingers, layer on top. Spread remaining cream evenly over top.
  8. Chill: Cover and refrigerate at least 6–8 hours or overnight to set.
  9. Serve: Dust with cocoa powder before serving. Garnish with cherries, chocolate shavings, or toasted almonds as desired. Slice and serve cold.

Notes

Use room temperature mascarpone and cool coffee to prevent runny cream. Don’t oversoak ladyfingers—1–2 seconds per side is perfect. For extra flavor, toast almonds or use espresso-strength coffee.
