Ingredients
Method
- Whisk egg yolks and granulated sugar in a double boiler over simmering water for 5 minutes until thick and pale. Remove from heat and whisk in mascarpone until smooth.
- Beat heavy cream to stiff peaks in a separate bowl. Gently fold whipped cream into mascarpone mixture until combined.
- Combine cooled espresso and amaretto in a shallow dish. Quickly dip each ladyfinger into the mixture and arrange in a single layer in a 9x13 inch dish.
- Spread half the mascarpone mixture over the ladyfingers. Arrange half the cherries on top.
- Repeat with another layer of dipped ladyfingers, remaining mascarpone mixture, and remaining cherries.
- Mix cherry juice with powdered sugar and drizzle over the top layer.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight to set.
- Before serving, dust with cocoa powder and sprinkle with toasted almonds.
Notes
Can be made up to 2 days ahead. Store covered in refrigerator. For alcohol-free version, substitute cherry juice for amaretto. Fresh or frozen cherries work equally well.
