FAQ:
1. Can I use frozen cherries?
Yes, but it's best to thaw them first and strain out any excess juice to prevent the mixture from becoming too watery.
2. What can I substitute for gelatin?
You can use agar-agar or omit the thickener if the dessert will be eaten the same day and doesn't need to be very stable.
3. Can I use yogurt instead of mascarpone?
Yes, but preferably a thick Greek yogurt to maintain a creamy consistency.
4. Which biscuits are best?
Classic butter ones work best, but you can also use whole grain, oat or even cocoa ones – it all depends on your preferences.
