300g mascarpone

200ml cream

1 bottle Farro chocolate sauce

3 Tbsp icing sugar

200g frozen pitted cherries, defrosted and drained

Whisk together the mascarpone, cream, icing sugar, and 100ml of the chocolate sauce to medium firm peaks. Unroll the sponge, smear with the cream mix, then place the cherries evenly on top of the cream. Drizzle with extra chocolate sauce and carefully roll back up.
