Method
Prepare the Cherry Layer
- In a bowl, combine the pitted and halved cherries with granulated sugar and lemon juice. Mix well and let sit for 15 minutes to macerate.
- Once the cherries have released some juice, set aside while you prepare the mascarpone mixture.
Prepare the Mascarpone Mixture
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the mascarpone cheese, whipped heavy cream, sugar, vanilla extract, and amaretto liqueur.
- Gently fold the mixture until smooth and well combined, being careful not to deflate the whipped cream.
Assemble the Tiramisu
- Dip each ladyfinger briefly in the remaining cherry juice from the macerated cherries, ensuring they are moist but not soggy.
- Layer half of the soaked ladyfingers in the bottom of a rectangular dish.
- Spread half of the mascarpone mixture over the ladyfingers, followed by half of the macerated cherries.
- Repeat the layers with the remaining ladyfingers, mascarpone mixture, and cherries.
Chill the Tiramisu
- Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight for best results.
Serve the Tiramisu
- Before serving, dust the top with cocoa powder and garnish with chocolate shavings.
- Slice and serve chilled, enjoying the delightful layers of flavor.

Notes
For a more intense flavor, let the tiramisu sit in the refrigerator overnight. You can also substitute the cherries with other fruits like raspberries or strawberries for a different twist.
