This recipe got a 10 on the WOW-FACTOR scale. I made a 1 & 1/2 recipe - one for a 13x9 pan to take to a potluck and 1/2 recipe for a 9x9 pan for the kids. I *thought* I had enough ricotta cheese, but ran short. Had to add in some cream cheese and extra mascarpone to come up to the total needed. I used strong brewed coffee for the Kahlua (teetotalers & pregnant women at the potluck) and rum extract for the rum. I used more twinkies in he 13x9 because 10 just didn't cover the bottom - I probably should have cut them in half length-wise and put them cut side up. Overall this was a super sweet dessert. I will make it again with less twinkies and less than the amount of powdered sugar called for. Thanks for adding this recipe to the ZaaR!

I'm a self-taught home cook who reads cookbooks like a novel. Then I try out all different nationalities of recipes, especially the more complicated ones...I love a challenge! I entertain often and enjoy cooking for others more than for myself. If my friends and family are happy eating my cooking, then I'm ecstatic!
