Ingredients
- 2 cups Fresh cherries (pitted)
- 0.5 cups Granulated sugar
- 1 cup Strong brewed coffee (cooled)
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 0.5 cups Mascarpone cheese
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 10 pieces Ladyfinger biscuits
- 2 tablespoons Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 tablespoons Dark chocolate shavings (optional)
Directions
Step 1
In a small saucepan, combine the pitted cherries and granulated sugar over medium heat.
Step 2
Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cherries release their juices and the sugar dissolves. Remove from heat and allow to cool.
Step 3
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, mascarpone cheese, and vanilla extract until smooth and slightly thickened. Set aside.
Step 4
Prepare a shallow dish and pour the cooled coffee into it.
Step 5
Dip each ladyfinger biscuit into the coffee for 1-2 seconds, ensuring they are saturated but not soggy.
Step 6
Arrange half of the soaked ladyfingers at the bottom of a serving dish or individual dessert glasses.
Step 7
Spoon half of the cherry mixture over the ladyfingers, spreading evenly.
Step 8
Top the cherries with a layer of the mascarpone-cream mixture, smoothing it out with a spatula or spoon.
Step 9
Repeat the layering process with the remaining ladyfingers, cherries, and mascarpone-cream mixture.
Step 10
Dust the top layer with unsweetened cocoa powder and garnish with dark chocolate shavings, if desired.
Step 11
Refrigerate for at least 2 hours (or overnight) to allow the flavors to meld together.
Step 12
Serve chilled and enjoy your Cherry Coffee Treat!
