Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 pieces Twinkies
- 16 ounces Mascarpone cheese
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 0.5 cup Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1.5 cups Brewed espresso (cooled)
- 0.25 cup Coffee liqueur (optional)
- 2 tablespoons Cocoa powder
- 2 tablespoons Chocolate shavings (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Prepare the cream layer: In a large mixing bowl, combine the mascarpone cheese, heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Use an electric mixer to whip the mixture until smooth and creamy. Set aside.
Prepare the coffee mixture: In a shallow bowl, combine the cooled espresso and coffee liqueur (if using). Stir well.
Assemble the first layer: Slice each Twinkie in half lengthwise. Line the bottom of an 8x8-inch dish with a single layer of Twinkie halves, cut side up.
Brush or drizzle half of the coffee mixture over the Twinkies to soak them lightly. Do not oversaturate.
Spread half of the mascarpone mixture evenly over the soaked Twinkies, using a spatula to smooth it out.
Repeat with a second layer: Add another layer of Twinkie halves, drizzle with the remaining coffee mixture, and spread the remaining mascarpone mixture on top.
Dust the top layer generously with cocoa powder using a fine-mesh sieve.
Optional: Garnish with chocolate shavings for an extra touch of decadence.
Cover the dish tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow the flavors to meld.
Serve chilled. Slice into squares and enjoy your Twinkie Tiramisu!
