Can I make this with frozen cherries?

Do I really have to whip the cream or can I use ready-made?

Whipping it yourself is fluffier and gives a nicer result, but ready-made whipped cream works too.

Is this also tasty with other fruits?

Definitely! Strawberries, blueberries, or mango also go well with this.

Can I make this in a large bowl instead of glasses?

That works perfectly, then you layer it and serve it per portion.

Are amaretti cookies gluten-free?

Some are, but always check the label. You can also use gluten-free cookies if necessary.
