Oreo Tiramisu cake

Soft and sweet Mascarpone cheese is great for making various kinds of dessert. The most popular dessert is Tiramisu. 
I love Tiramisu ^^. You can find many recipes for Tiramisu in my blog, but today I think I want to make different kind of Tiramisu. Most of the time Tiramisu is dressed up for grown ups, because it contains a lot of alcohol. So, how can I make it more childish, haha. Then I think about Oreo, I didn't use it much lately and I miss it. Plus the taste of the Oreo can go well with sweet Mascarpone cheese and coffee. With filling, it comes with bitter and sweetness, when without filling it give intense chocolate flavour. I divide the Oreo into 2 parts, the first part comes with the filling to mix into the cheese mixture, it adds both chocolate taste and sweetness. The second part that used for sprinkle on top of the cake, is without the filling, used instead of cocoa powder or chocolate. For the topping, if you want it to be crunchy sprinkle it just before serving. 
This cake is very delicious (well, in my opinion, haha), the cheese mousse is so light that you will finish it quicker than you think, serve it with a cup of coffee is recommended.

  3. Hi, Pham Tra
    Mascarpone separates easily, so it's better to use a spatula to soften it, than whisk it, when it soft enough press it until combine ^^.

  4. I love tiramisu too! I also love how you used Mascarpone cheese and Oreos. Those two are practically my favorite things to indulge on and you've combined them effortlessly with that recipe. The pictures look mouthwatering, BTW! Thank you so much for sharing!
