TWINKIE TIRAMISU

Steps:

• Line a 9x13x13 pan (or similar size) with Twinkies.
• Distribute for even coverage.
• Drizzle Twinkies with Kahlua and let them soak.
• Combine ricotta and mascarpone with a large spoon until smooth.
• Slowly begin to add powdered sugar (reserve 1/8th package of sugar for garnish) and whisk until mixture is smooth but heavy.
• Add dark rum and continue to whisk until fully combined and mixture is fuller and lighter.
• Taste mixture for desired sweetness (do not add more rum or tiramisu will not set properly).
• Pour cheese mixture evenly over twinkies in pan, use a soft spatula to smooth mixture and distribute in between twinkies and into corners.
• Cover and place pan in refrigerator for four hours to set.
• To finish, sprinkle cocoa powder liberally over top of tiramisu.
• Then grate chocolate bar and sprinkle shavings over the top as well.
• To serve, cut into pieces and dust with powdered sugar.
• Enjoy!
• For something different, try Frozen Twinkie Tiramisu by freezing overnight (just remember to cut pieces out with a hot, butter knife), it's decadent!
• Cooking time is refrigeration time.

TWINKIE® TIRAMISU

Steps:

• Beat the mascarpone cheese, sugar, vanilla extract, and egg yolk in a bowl until lightly and creamy. Cut the sponge snack cakes in half lengthwise, then in half widthwise, cutting each into 4 pieces. Press two cake pieces into the bottom of a large coffee mug, cream-side-down. Press four cake pieces around the inside of the mug. Repeat with a second mug.
• Sprinkle the sponge cake with 2 tablespoons of coffee liqueur per mug. Spoon in half of the mascarpone mixture and place two more sponge cake halves on top, cream-side-down. Sprinkle the tops with the remaining coffee liqueur. Wrap with plastic wrap, and refrigerate at least 2 hours before serving.

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.
