Description
A delicious and decadent Cherry Amaretto Tiramisu that combines the flavors of fresh cherries and amaretto liqueur in a creamy dessert.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups fresh cherries, pitted and halved
- 1 cup amaretto liqueur
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup mascarpone cheese
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup strong brewed coffee, cooled
- 24 ladyfinger cookies
- Cocoa powder, for dusting
Instructions
- Place the halved cherries in a bowl and pour half of the amaretto over them. Allow to marinate for at least 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- In another bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form, then gradually mix in the powdered sugar and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.
- Carefully incorporate the mascarpone cheese into the whipped cream until smooth and creamy.
- In a shallow dish, blend the remaining amaretto with the cooled coffee.
- Swiftly dip each ladyfinger into the coffee-amaretto mixture, ensuring they are moist but not soggy.
- In a square baking dish, arrange half of the dipped ladyfingers in a single layer.
- Spread half of the mascarpone mixture over the ladyfingers, followed by half of the marinated cherries.
- Layer the remaining ladyfingers on top, followed by the rest of the mascarpone and cherries.
- Cover the dish with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or overnight for enhanced flavor.
- Just before serving, lightly sprinkle cocoa powder on top.
Notes
- For a non-alcoholic alternative, substitute amaretto with almond extract and use almond milk in the coffee mixture.
- Enhance the dessert by adding a layer of dark chocolate shavings between the mascarpone and cherry layers.
