Steps

20 minutes plus chilling time

1

To help the whipped cream hold its shape, chill the mixing bowl and beaters in the freezer for a few hours before starting.
2

Line the mold with plastic wrap. Arrange well-drained pineapple slices on the bottom and sides. Place a candied cherry in the center of each pineapple ring. Cover with another layer of plastic wrap and refrigerate temporarily.
3

Whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form, then refrigerate.
4

Soften the gelatin in cold water.
5

In a small saucepan, combine the sugar, 1 tablespoon water, 1 tablespoon limoncello, and the lemon juice.
6

Heat gently, stirring, until the sugar dissolves, but do not let it boil. Remove from heat, add the squeezed gelatin, and stir to dissolve.
7

Take the whipped cream from the fridge and gently fold in the sugar-limoncello syrup, mixing from the bottom up to keep the cream fluffy.
8

Take the mold with the pineapple slices and spread a layer of cream over them. Add a layer of ladyfingers dipped in the pineapple syrup mixed with a couple of tablespoons of limoncello. Adjust the amount of limoncello to taste.
9

Continue layering cream and soaked ladyfingers until all ingredients are used.
10

Finish with a final layer of cream, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 5–6 hours to set. For a quicker set, place in the freezer for a shorter time. Once set, remove the top layer of plastic wrap, invert onto a serving plate, remove the rest of the wrap, and decorate as desired.
