Twinkie Tiramisu image

You guys have got to try this...it's unbelievable! I had heard about this a few years ago from a friend but could never find a recipe for it. Well, I finally found it on the internet. This recipe is by Chef Jonny of Kitsch'N on Roscoe in Chicago. I think my adult guests enjoyed this more than the kids!

Time 4h20m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

10 Hostess Twinkies (1 box)
16 ounces ricotta cheese
8 ounces mascarpone cheese
1 lb powdered sugar
2 ounces dark rum
6 ounces Kahlua
1 hershey chocolate bar (milk or dark chocolate)
1 tablespoon cocoa powder

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.
