“I wrote this review while participating in a campaign for Mom Central Consulting on
behalf of Twinkies. I received samples and a promotional item to thank me for
participating.”
Twinkies are BACK and in a big way! I was devastated when I heard the news that Twinkies were going to disappear a while ago and I’m so excited they are back on the shelves. I’ve had Twinkies my entire life, they were a part of my childhood. There is something nostalgic and magical about a Twinkie. They perfect combo of short bread and cream stuffing….please never leave my life again Twinkies!
To welcome the comeback of Twinkies there’s going to be a Twinkies Cookbook. I know right? I mean this is going to be the most awesome cookbook EVER!
If you would like to submit a recipe to the Twinkie Cookbook go HERE before July 31st.
I decided to whip up a little Twinkie treat in my kitchen and you know what this “Java Mama” loves??? ESPRESSO!
So I decided to make a “Twinkie Tiramisu” and OMG y’all it is so good you have to make this. It’s super easy and guaranteed to be a crowd pleaser.
Let me walk you through how to make a Twinkie Tiramisu:
Above are the ingredients you’ll need for this recipe.
You will need 14 Twinkies total for the tiramisu.
This is like building a casserole. Layer the Twinkie halves, drizzle on espresso, spread mascarpone/whipped cream mixture, layer another 7 Twinkie halves, drizzle espresso, and then spread the remainder of the cream mixture over top. Then dust with cocoa powder.
