Description

Irresistibly creamy cherry Amaretto tiramisu made with fresh cherries simmered in a light syrup, fluffy mascarpone cream, espresso-soaked ladyfingers, and a hint of almond liqueur. This elegant no-bake dessert is rich, fruity, and perfect for special occasions or summer gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups fresh cherries, pitted
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • ¾ cup Amaretto liqueur
  • 1 cup heavy cream, cold
  • 1 cup mascarpone cheese
  • ⅓ cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup espresso, cooled
  • 1 package ladyfingers (savoiardi)
  • Cocoa powder, for dusting
  • Shaved chocolate, for garnish
  • Extra cherries, for garnish

Instructions

  1. In a saucepan over medium heat, combine cherries, granulated sugar, lemon juice, and ¼ cup Amaretto.
  2. Simmer for 5–7 minutes until cherries soften and release a syrup.
  3. Remove from heat and allow the cherry mixture to cool completely.
  4. In a chilled bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk mascarpone, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  6. Gently fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture.
  7. In a shallow dish, mix cooled espresso with remaining Amaretto.
  8. Quickly dip ladyfingers into the espresso mixture, 1–2 seconds per side.
  9. Arrange half of the dipped ladyfingers in a serving dish.
  10. Spread half of the mascarpone cream over the ladyfingers.
  11. Spoon half of the cooled cherries and syrup over the cream.
  12. Repeat layers with remaining ladyfingers, cream, and cherries.
  13. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours before serving.
  14. Before serving, dust with cocoa powder and garnish with shaved chocolate and extra cherries.

Notes

For best results, allow the tiramisu to chill overnight to fully develop flavor. Use high-quality mascarpone and avoid over-soaking the ladyfingers.
