For zabaglione:
 Whisk yolks and sugar in top of double boiler over simmering water to
 blend. Gradually whisk in Marsala. Continue whisking until mixture is
 tripled in volume and holds shape in spoon, about 5 minutes. Set top
 of double boiler over bowl filled with ice and water and whisk
 zabaglione until cool. Remove from over water. Beat cream and sour
 cream in medium bowl to stiff peaks. Whisk in zabaglione. Cover and
 refrigerate until well chilled. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead.)
For tart:
 Preheat oven to 400F. Dust 1 side of crust with flour. Gently transfer
 crust to 9-inch tart pan with removable bottom, floured side down.
 Press into pan and press to seal any cracks. Trim edges. Pierce all
 over with fork. Bake until golden brown, about 15 minutes. Cool on
 rack.
 Drain cherries on paper towels. Arrange in crust. Spoon zabaglione
 cream over. Cover and refrigerate at least 1 hour. (Can be prepared 3
 hours ahead.)
Sprinkle with chocolate and serve.
