  • 1 package (about 7 oz) ladyfinger cookies
  • 1 ½ cups cherry preserves or cherry pie filling

  4. Spread half of the mascarpone mixture over the ladyfingers.
  5. Spoon half of the cherry preserves over the cream layer and add fresh cherry halves.
  6. Repeat the layers with remaining ingredients: dipped ladyfingers, mascarpone mixture, and cherry preserves.
  7. Cover and refrigerate for at least six hours or overnight.
  8. Before serving, dust with cocoa powder and garnish with fresh cherries.
