Brush a deep bowl thinly with oil. Cover the bottom of the bowl with a baking paper circle. Set aside the 5 biscuits. Mix the brandy and coffee and soak the remaining biscuits in it for a short time. Line the bottom of the bowl with halved biscuits and the edge with whole biscuits (sweetened sides facing outwards).

Whip the cream until stiff and fold in the mascarpone. Put half of the cream mixture in a second bowl. Mix cocoa powder and powdered sugar in one portion, and cherries into the other portion of cream and mascarpone mix.
