  • Beat mascarpone, lemon juice, icing sugar, and cream until thick and refrigerate.
  • Simmer stoned cherries with sugar and kirsch until tender, then cool.
  • Preheat oven to 190°C.
  • Roll dough, cut into 24 circles, and bake in greased tart tins until golden.
  • Melt chocolate and dip 12 whole cherries into it to set for garnish.
