Crush the biscuits and spread them over the base of a buttered 8 inch loose based cake tin. Beat the cream cheese and Mascarpone together until smooth, mix in the eggs one at a time, then the sugar and lemon juice. Cover with foil and bake for 30-40 minutes at 170degC/gas 3 until set. When cold top with the visciole cherries and pour over 1/4 pint of red jelly made with the fruit juice from the cherries. Place in the refrigerator until set firm. For a more delicious topping use all the cherries and remember the cherries have stones in!
