Coffee Lovers Father’s Day Twinkie Tiramisu with Coffee-Infused Whipped Cream

Ingredients:

• 10-12 Twinkies
• 1 cup strong brewed coffee, cooled
• 1 cup mascarpone cheese
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1/4 cup powdered sugar
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 2 tbsp coffee liqueur (optional)
• Cocoa powder for dusting
• Dark chocolate shavings (optional)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Twinkies: Slice each Twinkie in half lengthwise. Set aside.
2. Make the coffee mixture: In a shallow bowl, combine the cooled coffee and coffee liqueur (if using). Set aside.
3. Prepare the cream filling: In a mixing bowl, beat the heavy cream until it forms soft peaks. Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, and continue to beat until stiff peaks form. In a separate bowl, gently fold the mascarpone cheese to soften it. Carefully fold the whipped cream mixture into the mascarpone until well combined.
4. Assemble the tiramisu:
   • Dip each Twinkie half briefly into the coffee mixture, making sure not to soak them too long.
   • Arrange a layer of coffee-dipped Twinkies in the bottom of your serving dish (an 8×8 inch dish works well).
   • Spread half of the mascarpone cream mixture over the Twinkie layer.
   • Repeat with another layer of coffee-dipped Twinkies and the remaining mascarpone cream mixture.
5. Chill: Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld and the tiramisu to set.
6. Finish and serve: Before serving, dust the top with cocoa powder and sprinkle with dark chocolate shavings if desired.

Tips:

• You can personalize the tiramisu by adding a layer of fruit (such as strawberries or raspberries) between the Twinkie and cream layers.
• For an extra touch, garnish with a few mini Twinkies or Donettes on top.

This Twinkie Tiramisu will be a delightful surprise for Father’s Day, combining the beloved Hostess snack with a classic dessert in a fun and delicious way. Enjoy!

For pairing coffee with Twinkie Tiramisu, you want to choose a coffee that complements the sweet, creamy, and slightly boozy flavors of the dessert. Here are a few suggestions:

1. Espresso: A strong, rich espresso will balance the sweetness of the tiramisu and provide a nice contrast to the creamy texture. Its bold flavor cuts through the dessert, making each bite more enjoyable.
2. Americano: If you prefer a milder coffee, an Americano (espresso diluted with hot water) would be a great choice. It offers the rich flavor of espresso but in a more diluted, smoother form.
3. Cappuccino: The creamy, frothy texture of a cappuccino complements the mascarpone cream in the tiramisu, creating a harmonious pairing. The slightly sweet milk foam also adds an extra layer of indulgence.
4. Latte: A latte, with its larger proportion of steamed milk, provides a gentle coffee flavor that pairs well with the Twinkies and cream. You can also add a touch of flavored syrup (like vanilla or caramel) to enhance the dessert experience.
5. Cold Brew: If you prefer cold coffee, a cold brew would be an excellent choice. Its smooth, less acidic flavor pairs nicely with the tiramisu, especially if served over ice with a splash of cream.
