Fill and roll: On each half, place a spoonful of well-drained sour cherries, then roll tightly. 3. Arrange the rolls: On a platter, place the rolls in a pyramid shape, alternating between pancakes and mascarpone cream, like this: pancake rolls + cream + pancakes + cream, until all ingredients are used.
