Get ready to indulge in this creamy, dreamy dessert that’s layered with Twinkies, coffee, and mascarpone cheese. This innovative twist on the traditional Italian dessert is perfect for those who love a sweet, spongy treat. Here’s how to make it!

Twinkie Tiramisu

Ingredients

  • 12 Twinkies
  • 1 cup brewed coffee, cooled
  • 2 cups mascarpone cheese
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • ½ cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Cocoa powder, for dusting
  • Chopped chocolate or chocolate shavings (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Begin by brewing a cup of strong coffee. Allow it to cool down to room temperature.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the mascarpone cheese, heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Whip the mixture until it forms stiff peaks.
  3. Take your Twinkies and cut them in half lengthwise. Dip each half quickly into the cooled coffee, making sure not to soak them too long, as they can become too soggy.
  4. In a rectangular dish, lay down a layer of the coffee-soaked Twinkies, cut side up. Spread a generous layer of the mascarpone mixture over the Twinkies, smoothing it out to create an even layer.
  5. Repeat the layering process until you run out of Twinkies, finishing with a layer of the mascarpone mixture on top.
  6. Cover the dish with plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or overnight if you can wait that long. This will allow the flavors to meld beautifully together.
  7. Before serving, dust the top with cocoa powder and add chocolate shavings for a fancy touch. Slice and serve chilled!

This Twinkie Tiramisu is not just a dessert; it’s an experience that combines elegance with childhood nostalgia. Enjoy every bite and watch your loved ones rave about this extraordinary treat!
