Soak gelatine in cold water. Bring milk, fat and 60 g sugar to the boil. Stir in semolina and let it simmer for about 2 minutes at low heat while stirring. Squeeze the gelatine well and dissolve in the hot semolina. Stir in lemon peel. Pour the mixture into a bowl, place in a cold water bath and let it cool down to room temperature while stirring.
Whip cream until stiff, fold into the semolina. Cover and put in a cool place for at least 4 hours. For the compote, wash the cherries, drain and stone them. Mix the starch with some juice until smooth. Boil up the rest of the juice, 60 g sugar, cherries and cinnamon. Stir in the starch and let it simmer for about 1 minute while stirring. Let it cool down. For decoration, melt 3 tablespoons of sugar in a flat pan to a golden yellow caramel. Using a fork, draw thin lines of caramel criss-cross on an oiled piece of aluminium foil. Leave to cool and break into pieces. Cut off the mousse with a tablespoon of cam dipped in hot water.
