Bring in the holiday season with this no-bake Oreo Tiramisu. Layers of espresso soaked Oreo cookies sandwiched in between the most delicious brandied mascarpone cream. I top this festive dessert with Christmas tree piped Oreo cookies, decorated with rainbow sprinkles.
In a small bowl, mix together gelatin powder, Brandy and water. Stir until gelatin is dissolved. Place eggs yolks, sugar and gelatin mixture in a medium size bowl. Whisk until combined.
Pour a few inches of water into a medium size saucepan. Bring water to a simmer. Place bowl with egg yolk mixture directly over the simmering water.
Whisk continuously using a wire whisk. The mixture will become foamy and gradually thicken as it is heated. Cook until the egg mixture reaches 160°. This process usually takes about 10 minutes. Remove from heat.
In a separate bowl, using an electric mixer, whip mascarpone and softened cream cheese together. Slowly, beat in warm egg mixture. Set aside.
Place cold heavy cream inside bowl of electric mixer. Whisk on medium speed until it forms medium (not stiff) peaks. Gently, fold into mascarpone mixture.
Assembly
Make espresso and allow to cool at room temperature. Quickly dip the Oreo cookies into espresso. Arrange in a single layer into 9x13 baking pan.
Using an offset spatula, spread mascarpone cream on top of espresso soaked Oreos, followed by a second layer of dipped Oreos. Top the Oreos with the remaining mascarpone cream.
Cover with plastic wrap and chill for up to 6 hours or preferably overnight.
Using a fine mesh strainer, dust the top with cocoa powder. Arrange decorated Oreo cookies on top (directions below).
Christmas Tree Decorations
Melt white chocolate or white candy melts until smooth. Take Oreo cookie and dip half way up the cookie. Place onto a parchment lined cookie sheet to harden.
Melt green candy melts until smooth. Place into a small piping or Ziplock bag with a size 1 or 2 piping tip. In a back and forth motion, pipe zig zag lines in the shape of a Christmas tree.
Immediately after piping, sprinkle with rainbow nonpareils. Top the tree with a single gold ball sprinkle for the star.
