In a large mixing bowl, beat together mascarpone cheese and heavy cream using an electric mixer on medium speed for about 2-3 minutes until the mixture is smooth and fluffy.

Add amaretto liqueur, cherry juice, and vanilla extract to the mascarpone mixture. Mix on low speed for 1-2 minutes until fully incorporated.

In a separate small bowl, stir together granulated sugar and cherry preserves until well blended. Gradually add this mixture to the mascarpone cream and beat for another minute.

Gently fold in chopped fresh cherries into the mascarpone mixture using a spatula until evenly distributed.

In a shallow dish, combine amaretto and cherry juice for dipping the ladyfingers. Mix well.

Quickly dip the ladyfingers in the cherry-amaretto mixture and layer them in the bottom of a 9×13-inch dish.

Spread half of the mascarpone and cherry mixture evenly over the ladyfingers.

Repeat the process with another layer of dipped ladyfingers over the mascarpone cream.

Spoon the remaining mascarpone mixture over the final layer of ladyfingers, spreading it nicely.

Cover the dish tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
