Hostess, the land of cupcakes and Twinkies, filed for bankruptcy last week. My mother sent me an article about this National CRISIS from the Kansas City Star. What would the world be like without the beloved Twinkie? We must SAVE the Twinkie!!! Buy them! Eat them! To heck with Atkins! And while you savour the scrumptuous recipe below, be sure to wear you highly coveted pair of Twinkie Loungewear Pants!
Thanks, Mom ~ for whimsifying my stress-filled day!
RECIPE ~ Twiramisu
2 boxes, plus 2 two-packs of Twinkies
1 box instant vanilla pudding
2 cups milk
2 cups leftover coffee
8 ounces cream cheese (softened)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoons (roughly) cocoa powder
Combine milk and pudding mix, and let sit to thicken. Dip unwrapped Twinkies into coffee and place in an even layer to cover the bottom of an 8x8 inch pan. Add cream cheese and vanilla to pudding and whip or beat til smooth. Pour half the pudding mixture over Twinkies; sift some cocoa over the top. Repeat layering theTwinkies, coffee and pudding ending with cocoa. Chill for at least 2 hours. The longer it sits, the better.
