Easy Halloween Dessert Tiramisu Dirt Cake
Oreo crumble, whipped mascarpone, and Ladyfingers meant to be soaked...in coffee! Get your head out of the gutter 🙂
Ingredients
Ladyfinger
- ½ cup granulated sugar divided (100g)
- 3 large eggs, separated
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup all-purpose flour (120g)
- 5 teaspoons cornstarch
- Powdered sugar for dusting
Tiramisu Filling Ingredients:
- 1 ½ cups heavy whipping cream
- 8-ounce container mascarpone cheese, at room temperature
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 ½ cups cold espresso
- 3 tablespoons coffee-flavored liqueur, optional (Kahlua or DaVinci brands)
- Cocoa powder for dusting the top
Instructions
To make this treat, I followed instructions for Ladyfingers by Preppy Kitchen and for the filling I used Tastes Better from Scratch’s tiramisu recipe with some Halloween flair by adding gummy worms, candy pumpkins, and Oreo crumbs for a dirt effect.
Â
Essentially all I changed with their recipes was add a little oreo cream leftover from crumbling the oreo cookies in a food processor! I used 6 oreo cream fillings and added it while I whipped the filling.
Tips and Tricks
If you don’t have a food processor, feel free to put them in a ziplock bag and pound away with a mallet! Just don’t break anything…and the bag is ripable beware!
