This recipe is from Walt Disney's Pop Century Resort. I have not made it yet but my hubby loves Tiramisu and this looks fun and different. Ingredients:
1/3 cup water |
1/2 cup sugar |
2/3 cup strongly brewed espresso coffee |
1/4 cup brandy, italian if possible |
1 lb mascarpone cheese, softened |
1/3 cup sugar |
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract |
1 1/2 cups heavy cream |
10 hostess twinkies, sliced in half lengthwise |
cocoa powder (to garnish) |
Directions:
1. 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.
2. Mascarpone Filling: Beat mascarpone, sugar and vanilla until smooth. Whip cream until soft peaks form. Fold gently whipped cream into mascarpone mixture.
3. 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.
4. 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.
