This black cherry tiramisu is a dreamy twist on the classic Italian dessert—rich, creamy, and effortlessly elegant. Layers of delicate sponge fingers are soaked in a luscious black cherry syrup, then smothered in velvety mascarpone cream and topped with juicy black cherries for a bold pop of flavour. It’s the perfect balance of sweet, tart, and creamy, making it a show-stopping finale for any dinner party. Best of all, it’s a make-ahead dessert that only gets better as the flavours mingle.
