Ingredients
- 1 ¾ cups heavy cream
- 1 cup mascarpone cheese (room temperature)
- ⅓ cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 ½ cups strong brewed espresso or coffee (cooled)
- 3 tbsp almond-flavored syrup
- 1 package (about 7 oz) ladyfinger cookies (savoiardi)
- 1 ½ cups cherry preserves or cherry pie filling
- ½ cup fresh cherries, pitted and halved
- Unsweetened cocoa powder (for dusting)
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whip heavy cream until soft peaks form. Add mascarpone cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Continue whipping until smooth and fluffy.
- In a shallow bowl, mix cooled espresso with almond-flavored syrup.
- Quickly dip each ladyfinger into the espresso mixture—do not soak—and line the bottom of a 9×9-inch dish with the dipped cookies.
- Spread half of the whipped cream mixture evenly over the ladyfingers.
- Spoon half of the cherry preserves over the cream and add fresh cherry halves.
- Repeat layering with more dipped ladyfingers, remaining cream mixture, and finish with the remaining cherry preserves.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight to let flavors meld.
- Just before serving, dust cocoa powder over the top and garnish as desired.
