• 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).

• To finish, sprinkle cocoa powder liberally over top of tiramisu.
• Then grate chocolate bar and sprinkle shavings over the top as well.

• 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.

TWINKLE TIRAMISU

Steps:

• Cut the sponge cakes in half lengthwise and fit the bottom halves into a 7 by 11-inch pan. Drizzle half the coffee over them.
• Whip the cream to soft peaks and sweeten it with the sugar. Whisk the mascarpone cheese a bit to loosen it and fold in the whipped cream. Pour half of this mixture over the sponge cakes and spread it out evenly. Make another layer with the tops of the sponge cakes and drizzle them with the remaining coffee. Mix about 10 drops of food coloring into the remaining cream mixture, enough to make it the same yellow color as the sponge cakes. Spread this evenly over the sponge cakes. Coarsely crush the vanilla wafers and scatter them over the top. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.

TWINKIE TIRAMISU

Steps:

• 1. Place espresso powder and 1/2 cup sugar in a heatproof bowl. Pour boiling water into bowl and whisk to dissolve. Let cool to room temperature.
• 2. Combine cream cheese, vanilla and remaining 1/4 cup of sugar in a large bowl and beat with an electric mixer until smooth. In another large bowl, beat heavy cream until it holds stiff peaks. Gently fold cream cheese mixture into whipped cream.
• 3. One at a time, dip the Twinkies halves into coffee mixture just to moisten. Place them alongside each other in bottom of a shallow 11x 7-inch baking dish. Spread 1/2 of the cream cheese mixture over Twinkies, then sprinkle with 1/2 the chopped chocolate.
• 4. Repeat with remaining Twinkies, cream cheese mixture and chocolate. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until well chilled, at least 3 hours or up to 2 days.

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.
