Tyrolean Cherry Pie

In Tyrolean cherry pie, not the usual shortbread dough, but a soft shortbread cake. Although the pie can be eaten right after the jelly has set, I recommend refrigerating it overnight. If you cut the pie on the same day, the cream, due to its delicate and light consistency, will begin to drip from the cake, and the pieces will not work out perfect.
