Description
Oreo tiramisu is a fun twist on the classic Italian dessert, swapping traditional ladyfingers with layers of chocolatey Oreo cookies. With rich mascarpone cream, espresso-soaked Oreos, and a dusting of cocoa, it’s a decadent treat that combines creamy, crunchy, and coffee-kissed flavors in every bite.
Ingredients
Scale
- 6 large egg yolks
- 1/2 cup (100 g) superfine sugar
- 2 cups (470 ml) espresso, cooled
- 2 teaspoons (10 ml) pure vanilla extract
- 16 ounces (450 g) mascarpone cheese, at room temperature
- 2 cups (470 ml) heavy whipping cream
- 32 Oreo cookies (from a 13.29-ounce / 377 g package)
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder, for dusting
Instructions
- In a heatproof bowl set over simmering water, whisk the egg yolks and sugar together until thickened and pale, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- Whisk in the vanilla extract and mascarpone cheese until smooth and creamy.
- In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture until well combined.
- Quickly dip each Oreo into the cooled espresso (do not soak, as they will become too soft).
- Arrange half of the espresso-dipped Oreos in a single layer in the bottom of a 9×13-inch dish.
- Spread half of the mascarpone cream mixture over the Oreos.
- Repeat with the remaining Oreos and mascarpone cream, smoothing the top.
- Dust generously with unsweetened cocoa powder.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, before serving.
Notes
- Do not oversoak the Oreos—just a quick dip ensures they hold texture while absorbing espresso flavor.
- For a kid-friendly version, use milk instead of espresso.
- Chill overnight for the best texture and flavor.
- You can garnish with extra crushed Oreos or shaved chocolate on top.
