Instructions
- Make the cherry compote by combining all the ingredients, bring to a boil then lower the heat and cook until cherries are tender. Let cool strain and reserve the liquid.
- Beat 300 ml of heavy cream and sugar until soft peaks form then beat in 250 g of mascarpone cheese until incorporated followed by the pistachio paste. The spread should be light and airy.
- In a 8×8 square pan start dipping the lady fingers in the cherry syrup and arrange at the bottom of the dish, follow with half of the pistachio spread then the cherries and another layer of the lady fingers, finish with the pistachio spread. Place in the fridge for minimum 6 hrs overnight is best!
