- Separate the eggs, whisk yolks with sugar and vanilla sugar until pale and fluffy, then fold in mascarpone.

- Spread half of the mascarpone mixture over the ladyfingers, add dollops of cherry jam, then repeat layers.
- Finish with a dusting of cocoa powder and refrigerate for at least 4 hours (overnight for best results).

Notes
For a boozy kick, add a splash of kirsch to the cocoa powder before dipping the ladyfingers. Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 2-3 days; it tastes best within that timeframe. For a lighter version, consider using Greek yogurt instead of mascarpone or a sugar substitute like stevia. Make sure to dip ladyfingers briefly in cocoa to avoid sogginess. Presentation can be enhanced with garnishing fresh cherries or a mint leaf.
