Twinkie Tiramisu With Espresso Syrup Recipes

TWINKIE TIRAMISU WITH ESPRESSO SYRUP

Steps:

• Espresso Syrup: Combine water and sugar in a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium high heat, stirring occasionally to dissolve sugar. Remove from heat, cool and add coffee and brandy.
• Mascarpone Filling: Beat mascarpone, sugar and vanilla until smooth. Whip cream until soft peaks form. Fold gently whipped cream into mascarpone mixture.
• To assemble: Place a layer of the Twinkie slices in the bottom of a shallow 2 1/2 quart baking dish. Drizzle with half of the Espresso Syrup. Spread with half of the Mascarpone filling. Repeat with the remaining Twinkie slices, syrup and filling.
• Smooth top with a spatula. Cover and refrigerate for up to 24 hours before serving. Just prior to serving, sift cocoa to lightly dust the top.
