    Make this dessert...NOW! I had this at Disney World, and my wife made it last night. It's quite possibly the greatest dessert in the history of mankind. My wife used cream cheese instead of marscapone...

    INGREDIENTS:

    For the Espresso Syrup:
    1/3 cup water
    1/2 cup sugar
    2/3 cup strongly brewed espresso coffee
    1/4 cup Italian or domestic brandy (optional)

    For the Mascarpone Filling:
    1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream
    1/3 cup sugar
    2 teaspoons vanilla extract
    1 pound mascarpone cheese, softened to room temperature

    Other Ingredients:
    12 Twinkies, sliced 1/2 inch thick
    Cocoa powder, for garnish
    PREPARATION:

    For the Espresso Syrup:
    1. Combine water and sugar in a small saucepan.
    2. Bring to a simmer, stirring occasionally to dissolve sugar.
    3. Remove from heat, cool and add coffee and brandy.

    For the Mascarpone Filling:
    1. Whip cream with sugar and vanilla until soft peaks form.
    2. Fold cream into softened mascarpone.

    To Assemble Twinkie Tiramisu:
    1. Place a layer of the Twinkie slices in the bottom of a shallow 2-quart bakig dish or gratin dish.
    2. Drizzle with half of the Espresso Syrup.
    3. Spread with half of the Mascarpone Filling.
    4. Repeat with remaining Twinkie, syrup, and filling.
    5. Smooth the top with a metal spatula.
    6. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to 24 hours.
    7. Just before serving, sift cocoa to lightly dust the top of the tiramisu.

    Yeah. I'm going to stick with desserts that you can unwrap and eat on the spot like.... twinkies.

    Well, if you don't do the work, you won't get the reward. ;)

    Besides, it makes a huge amount. Two people can eat off it for a week, easy...

    Why not make it with biscotti like you're supposed to? Tiramisu's great; don't **** it up with twinkies.

    I have made this thing without the twinkies twice, it taste pretty good but cost more than the ones I can buy at the super market, and it takes a lot of work.

    How does it compare to a twinkie weenie sandwich? That's the real question.

    Of course it tastes good...

    let's see :

    sugar
    vanilla extract
    whipping cream
    more sugar
    cheese
    Twinkies (lol)
    cocoa powder

    Just go down the baking aisle of your grocery store, get a package of sugar and eat it... same effect. Oh wait... nibble on a twinkie and a hershey's chocolate bar while you do it... there you go. :D

    Yeah. It tastes better and it's probably healthier the real way if you can imagine that...
