24 ladyfinger cookies
2 cups mascarpone cheese
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup cherry pie filling

Instructions
Brew the Perfect Coffee & Amaretto Mixture: In a shallow dish, combine the brewed coffee and Amaretto. Dip each ladyfinger into the mixture briefly and arrange them neatly at the bottom of a serving dish.
Create the Decadent Whipped Cream: In a large bowl, whip the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.
Combine Whipped Cream & Mascarpone: Gently fold the mascarpone cheese into the whipped cream until well combined.
Layer the First Mascarpone Mixture: Spread half of the mascarpone mixture over the layer of ladyfingers.
Add a Burst of Cherry Flavor: Spoon half of the cherry pie filling over the mascarpone layer, spreading it evenly.
Repeat the Layering Process: Repeat the layers with the remaining ladyfingers, mascarpone mixture, and cherry pie filling.
Let It Set: Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or preferably overnight.
Dust the top with cocoa powder before serving.
