03 - Add amaretto liqueur, cherry juice, and vanilla extract to the mascarpone mixture. Beat for another 1–2 minutes until homogeneous.
04 - In a separate bowl, mix granulated sugar with cherry preserves, then add this to the mascarpone blend. Beat for 1 minute until fully combined.
05 - Gently fold the chopped fresh cherries into the mascarpone cream, ensuring even distribution.
06 - In a shallow dish, combine amaretto liqueur and cherry juice for dipping the ladyfingers.
07 - Quickly dip each ladyfinger into the amaretto-cherry mixture, ensuring each is moistened without becoming soggy.
08 - Arrange a single layer of dipped ladyfingers on the base of a 23 x 33 cm baking dish.
09 - Spread half the mascarpone cherry mixture over the ladyfingers, smoothing the surface with a spatula.
10 - Add a second layer of dipped ladyfingers, then top with the remaining mascarpone cherry mixture.
11 - Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, for optimal texture and flavor integration.
12 - Just before serving, dust the surface with cocoa powder and evenly sprinkle with shaved or grated dark chocolate. Serve chilled.

# Notes:

01 - Rapid dipping of ladyfingers prevents excessive moisture and maintains a pleasant texture.
