Wash and drain cherries. Remove stones and reserve 8 whole cherries for
garnish. Place cherries in a bowl; add kirsch. In a small pan boil 3 T
sugar and the water for a minute to make a thin sugar syrup. Add syrup to
cherries; stir to blend. Cover and let soak for 20 minutes. Cut the
ladyfingers in half, divide into 4 portions, and place in individual glass
dishes. Arrange cherries on top. Thoroughly blend cream cheese, 3 T sugar,
vanilla extract, and ground almonds. Whip the cream and carefully fold it
into the cream-cheese mixture. Spoon over the cherries. Garnish with the
chopped pistachio nuts and whole cherries.
