Brew the coffee and allow it to cool.
In a shallow dish, mix the cooled coffee with the kirsch (if using).
2️⃣ Make the mascarpone cream:
In a large mixing bowl, whisk the heavy cream and powdered sugar until soft peaks form.
Add the mascarpone cheese and vanilla extract and whisk until smooth and well combined.
3️⃣ Prepare the cherry topping:
In a small saucepan, combine the cherries, sugar, and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat for about 5-7 minutes, until the cherries soften and release their juices. Remove from heat and let it cool.
4️⃣ Assemble the tiramisu:
Quickly dip each ladyfinger into the coffee mixture (don’t soak them, just dip briefly).
Lay the dipped ladyfingers in the bottom of a serving dish, covering the base.
Spread a layer of the mascarpone cream over the ladyfingers.
Drizzle with melted chocolate and spoon some of the cherry topping on top.
Repeat the layers until all ingredients are used, ending with a layer of mascarpone cream.
5️⃣ Chill the tiramisu:
Cover the tiramisu and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to let the flavors meld together.
6️⃣ Serve and garnish:
Just before serving, top with any remaining cherry topping and garnish with chocolate shavings.
💡 Tips:
✅ For a deeper cherry flavor, use jarred morello cherries in syrup.
✅ Add a bit of cocoa powder on top of the tiramisu for a nice chocolate finish. 🍫
✅ You can make this dessert ahead of time for an easy, stress-free treat when hosting.
