Twinkie Tiramisu is hands down the best tiramisu I’ve ever had. Twinkies were made for Tiramisu. They are so much better that way.

Between the cream in the Twinkies and a creamy whipped cream cheese/whipped cram mixture, there is a whole lot of creaminess going on in this Tiramisu.

Twinkies are cut in half lengthwise and dipped in an instant espresso/sugar mixture dissolved in water. You can vary the amount of coffee flavor by giving them a quick dip or letting them get saturated. I think a quick dip is plenty. 🙂

Whipped cream cheese mixed with whipped cream (you could use Cool Whip), makes a creamy mixture that is spread on top of the Twinkies. There is also some grated chocolate in the middle and on top.

I wanted to add some more chocolate flavor and make it a little more interesting so I used half regular Twinkies and half chocolate covered Twinkies and I love how it turned out!

This Tiramisu should be refrigerated for at least 2 hours before serving so plan ahead. It will last for about 3 days in the refrigerator.
