Preparation Steps

• Brew strong coffee or espresso, allow it to cool completely, and stir in amaretto liqueur.
• In a large bowl, combine mascarpone cheese with cherry preserves and whisk until the mixture is completely smooth.
• Briefly dip half of the ladyfingers into the coffee-amaretto mixture, ensuring they are moistened but not soggy, and arrange them in a single layer along the bottom of an 8x8-inch baking dish.
• Evenly spread half of the mascarpone and cherry mixture over the soaked ladyfingers.
• Repeat the process with the remaining ladyfingers and coffee mixture, arranging a second layer atop the mascarpone mixture.
• Cover the ladyfingers with the remaining mascarpone and cherry blend, smoothing the top evenly.
• Cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight. Just before serving, dust the surface with unsweetened cocoa powder.
