Ingredient Notes
- Egg Yolks
- Sugar
- Mascarpone
- Heavy Cream
- Coffee
- Oreos
- Cocoa Powder
Step by Step Instructions
STEP 1: Gently heat the egg yolks & sugar, then whisk in the mascarpone. In a medium heat proof bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and sugar until fully combined. Place the bowl over a pot of simmering water. Constantly whisk the yolk, sugar mixture for about 8 minutes or until the sugar has completely dissolved. Remove bowl and allow to cool for a few minutes. Once cool, whisk in the mascarpone.
STEP 2: Fold in the whipped cream. In a separate bowl, combine the heavy cream and vanilla, then whip to medium peaks. (Careful not to over-whip!) Gently fold the whipped cream into the other mixture until fully combined. Set aside.
STEP 3: Dip the oreos in coffee. Start with a layer of oreos - dip the oreos quickly into the cooled coffee.
STEP 4: Arrange the oreos in the dish. Place the coffee dipped oreos in the bottom of the cup. (I used two mini cocottes, but you can use just about anything!)
STEP 5: Top with the mascarpone filling. Top the oreos with about 3 tablespoons of the tiramisu filling, spreading it evenly. Then dust the top with cocoa powder.
STEP 6: Repeat the layers. Repeat this layering process two more times.
STEP 7: Add a final layer of mascarpone filling. For the top layer of filling, you can either spread it on or pipe it on with a small round piping tip. Finish with a final dusting of cocoa powder.
STEP 8: Chill, then serve. Allow the tiramisu to chill in the fridge for about an hour before serving.
Recipe FAQs
Yes! Since oreos are extremely sweet, this dessert is VERY rich. If you are not a big fan of overly sweet desserts, you might want to consider using traditional ladyfingers instead.Â
Yes, you can easily cut this recipe in half for an even smaller serving! Honestly, since it is so rich, you may want to split the one serving!
Yes, you can assemble it in a mug, an 8x8 pan, or just about anything else. The size or shape of the vessel really doesn't matter, but it may affect the number of the layers. I used two mini cocottes!
Baking in Grams
All of the recipes on this blog are carefully developed with gram measurements so you can easily recreate them in your own kitchen with success. Volume measurements are extremely inaccurate and leave room for significant errors. Not all measuring cups are made equally, so your one cup of flour will be different from my one cup of flour. By providing precise measurements in grams (aside from minor ingredients, which are given in tsp/tbsp), you can make these recipes accurately and with less cleanup! All you need is this kitchen scale.
If this still isn't enough to convince you, I have provided volume measurements in the recipe card. If you are interested in understanding the conversions, this is the best conversion chart.
But trust me, once you try baking in grams you'll never turn back!
Happy baking! x
