Oreo Tiramisu (Incredibly Creamy)
This Oreo tiramisu is creamy and decadent and is a twist on the classic. It is made with espresso-dipped Oreos and creamy mascarpone cream.
Ingredients
For the mascarpone cream
- 2 cups Heavy cream cold
- ¾ cup Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 16 oz Mascarpone cheese room temp
Assembly
- 45 Oreos regular kind
- 1 cup Espresso
- 2 tablespoon Cocoa powder
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, add the cold heavy cream, sugar, and vanilla extract, and mix it with an electric hand mixer until soft peaks form.
- Add the room-temperature mascarpone cheese and mix it until smooth and creamy. Do not overmix it to stop it from curdling.
- Dip the Oreos quickly in the coffee mixture (2-3 seconds) and lay them in an even layer in the 13 by 9-inch baking dish.
- Top the soaked Oreos with half of the mascarpone mixture and smooth it out with an offset spatula.
- Add another layer of the dipped Oreos. Top the Oreos with the second half of the mascarpone cream and smooth it out with a spatula.
- Cover with plastic wrap and place in the fridge for at least 4 hours to allow the ladyfingers to soften. Generously top the tiramisu with plenty of cocoa powder and serve!
Notes
- Scrape down the sides of the bowl frequently to ensure that you have a homogeneous mixture that has no cheese lumps.
- Make sure that you are using room-temperature mascarpone cheese in this recipe, this step makes it easier to mix the cheese with no unnecessary lumps, we don’t want that in your cream mixture.
- Use high-fat mascarpone cheese. Using full-fat cream mascarpone ensures that your dessert will be stable.
- Allow proper chilling time. Refrigerate your tiramisu for at least 4-6 hours, or preferably overnight. This allows the flavors to meld and the dessert to set properly, resulting in cleaner slices and a more cohesive taste.
- Avoid overmixing the cream. Overmixing can lead to a grainy texture and affect the overall consistency of your tiramisu. Mix the cream just until it reaches soft peaks, then gently fold it into the other ingredients.
- Dust with cocoa powder just before serving. To prevent the cocoa powder from absorbing moisture and becoming soggy, add this final touch right before presenting your tiramisu. This ensures a fresh, attractive appearance and adds a burst of chocolate flavor.
- Soak the Oreos briefly. Dip each Oreo in the coffee mixture for just 2-3 seconds. Over-soaking can lead to a soggy tiramisu, while under-soaking results in a dry texture.
