After a long, self-imposed hiatus, I made my "Not Simple" Twinkie Tiramisu (at my son's birthday request) adapted from Josh's Twinkie Tiramisu (link below)

in 2 extra deep foil lasagna loaf pans. You can't go wrong with either of these recipes!
Next time I make this - in 5 years ;o) - I'm going to try the Disney suggestion of cutting the Twinkies in half and making 2 layers. Colleen
NOT SIMPLE TWINKIE TIRAMISU
1 box of Twinkies (10)
2 oz of Kahlua
2 oz coffee syrup**
6 egg yolks
1/3 cup (5+ oz) Marsala PLUS 1-2 Tbs
1/2 cup sugar
16 oz of Ricotta cheese
8 oz of Mascarpone cheese
8oz of Powdered Sugar PLUS 2 Tbs (and more for garnish)(I measured 8 oz at 2 1/3 cups)
1 1/2 cups (12 oz) whipping cream
1/2 tsp vanilla
1 chocolate bar (milk or dark chocolate)
1 tablespoon of cocoa powder
1. Line a 9" x 13" x 3" pan (or similar size) with Twinkies. Distribute for even coverage. Mix Kahlua and coffee syrup. Drizzle Twinkies with mixture and let them soak.
2. In a bowl, beat egg yolks with sugar until light, about 5 minutes. Whisk in 1/3 cup of Marsala (I used my mixer instead of a whisk). Transfer to a double boiler over gently simmering water and whisk (beat) for 3-7 minutes or until fluffy and thickened (this is Zabaglione - yummy all by itself!) Cool in ice bath.
3. Beat whip cream until firm adding 2 Tbs of powdered sugar and vanilla once cream begins to firm up. Chill
4. Next, combine ricotta and mascarpone with a mixer until smooth. Slowly add the powdered sugar and beat until the mixture is smooth but heavy. Add 1-2 Tbs of Marsala and continue to beat until the mixture is fuller and lighter. Beat in the cooled custard. Fold 1/4 of the whipped cream into the cheese mixture to lighten and then gently fold in remaining 3/4 until just blended.
5. Spread cheese mixture evenly over Twinkies in pan, use a soft spatula to smooth mixture and distribute in-between Twinkies and into corners. Bang container lightly on counter. Cover and place pan in refrigerator for at least four hours to set.
6. To finish, sprinkle Cocoa Powder liberally over top of Tiramisu. Then grate chocolate bar and drizzle shavings over the top as well (I don't do this). To serve, cut into pieces and dust with powdered sugar.
**Coffee syrup - Small batch
1/3 cup strong coffee 1/3 cup sugar 1 Tbs instant coffee crystals Mix together in a saucepan. Bring to a boil and simmer for 5 minutes. Cool.
