Prepare the cherries

• Pit the cherries and set a few aside for decoration.
• Simmer the remaining cherries briefly with a little sugar until slightly softened, then let them cool.

Make the mascarpone cream

• Whisk the egg yolks with the sugar until pale and fluffy.
• Fold in the mascarpone until smooth.
• Beat the egg whites to stiff peaks and gently fold them into the mascarpone mixture.

Soak the ladyfingers

• Pour the cherry juice into a shallow dish.
• Quickly dip each ladyfinger in the juice, without soaking it through.

Assemble the tiramisu

• Line the bottom of a dish with a layer of soaked ladyfingers.
• Spread half of the mascarpone cream on top.
• Add a layer of cherries, then repeat with the remaining ladyfingers, cream and cherries.

Chill

• Cover the dish and refrigerate until the tiramisu is set.

Finish and serve

• Dust the top with cocoa powder just before serving.
• Decorate with the reserved cherries.
