Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Coffee and Oreos

1. Brew 1 cup (240 ml) of your favorite coffee and let it cool to room temperature.

Step 2: Make the Mint Mascarpone Cream

1. In a large mixing bowl, whip 1 ½ cups (360 ml) of heavy cream until soft peaks form.
2. Gradually add ½ cup (100 g) of granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon (5 ml) of pure mint extract, and 1 teaspoon (5 ml) of vanilla bean paste. Continue whipping until stiff peaks form.
3. Gently fold in 6 ounces (170 g) of mascarpone cream until well combined and smooth.

Step 3: Assemble the Layers

1. Once the coffee has cooled, dip 16 Mint Oreo cookies briefly into the coffee to soak and layer them on the bottom of an 8x8 baking dish.
2. Spread half of the mint mascarpone cream over the Oreos.
3. Repeat the process, soaking and layering the remaining 16 Oreos and topping it with the rest of the mint mascarpone cream.

Step 4: Make the Whipped Cream

1. In a mixing bowl, whip 1 cup (240 ml) of heavy cream until soft peaks form.
2. Add 2 tablespoons (30 g) of granulated sugar and 1 teaspoon (5 ml) of vanilla bean paste. Continue whipping until stiff peaks form.

Step 5: Finish the Dessert

1. Spread or pipe the whipped cream over the top layer of mascarpone cream.
2. Shave Andes mint candy over the whipped cream for garnish.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Can I substitute mint extract for the peppermint extract? Yes, you can substitute mint extract for the peppermint extract if you prefer a less pronounced peppermint flavor. Both extracts will give you that refreshing minty taste, but peppermint extract is often stronger.

2. Can I use a different type of cookie instead of Mint Oreos? Absolutely! While Mint Oreos add a unique flavor, you can experiment with other cookies like regular Oreos, chocolate wafers, or even ladyfingers if you prefer a more traditional tiramisu texture.

3. How long can I store this tiramisu in the refrigerator? You can store the Mint Oreo Tiramisu in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Make sure it is covered tightly to prevent it from drying out or absorbing other odors from the fridge.

Dietary Substitutions

I love providing gluten and dairy free substitutions so that those with alternate dietary needs can enjoy my recipes to their fullest! These are subs that I have either used and continue to stock in my own home, or that have come highly recommended from others. I want your baking experience to be the best it can be, and avoiding gluten or dairy shouldn’t hinder that process in the slightest. 

Use Gluten Free Mint Oreos instead of regular ones. Oreos are naturally vegan so there is no dairy in them. 

The Banana Diaries has a recipe for a quick, 3-ingredient vegan mascarpone. 

Silk Dairy Free Heavy Cream is a great option for the mascarpone cream filling.
