TWinKiE TiramiSu


8  cream-filled sponge cakes
  (recommended: Twinkies)
1  cup unsweetened espresso or strong coffee  
1 1⁄ 2  cups whipping cream
1/3  cup sugar
2  (8 3⁄ 4-ounce) packages mascarpone  cheese, at room temperature
 Vanilla wafer cookies, crushed
 Chocolate wafer cookies, crushed


1*Cut the sponge cakes in half lengthwise and fit the bottom
halves into an 11×7×1 1⁄
2-inch pan. Drizzle with 1⁄2 cup of the coffee.
2*Whip the cream and sugar to soft peaks. Whisk the mascarpone
a bit to loosen it; fold in the whipped cream. Pour half of the mixture
over the sponge cakes and spread evenly. Make another layer with the
tops of the sponge cakes; drizzle with the remaining coffee. Spread
mascarpone mixture evenly over the sponge cakes.
3*If desired, gently place several different size round cookie 
cutters on the surface of the mascarpone mixture. Carefully sprinkle
the crushed vanilla wafers into a few of the cookie cutters and the
crushed chocolate wafers into the remaining cutters. Gently remove
cookie cutters. Lightly cover and refrigerate at least 2 hours before
serving.
