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)

Directions

Step 1

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.

Step 2

Prepare the coffee mixture: In a shallow bowl, combine the cooled espresso and coffee liqueur (if using). Stir well.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

Brush or drizzle half of the coffee mixture over the Twinkies to soak them lightly. Do not oversaturate.

Step 5

Spread half of the mascarpone mixture evenly over the soaked Twinkies, using a spatula to smooth it out.

Step 6

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.

Step 7

Dust the top layer generously with cocoa powder using a fine-mesh sieve.

Step 8

Optional: Garnish with chocolate shavings for an extra touch of decadence.

Step 9

Cover the dish tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow the flavors to meld.

Step 10

Serve chilled. Slice into squares and enjoy your Twinkie Tiramisu!
