Instructions
Slice the Twinkies
- Cut each Twinkie into small pieces, about 1-2 inches long, and place them in the baking dish.
Prepare the Whipped Cream
- In a mixing bowl, add heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla. Whip until soft peaks form.
Add Pudding or Cream Cheese
- Mix pudding or cream cheese into whipped cream for extra flavor and creaminess.
Layer Twinkies

Add Cream Mixture
- Pour half of the whipped cream mixture over the Twinkies. Spread evenly using a spatula.
Add Another Layer of Twinkies
- Place remaining Twinkie pieces on top of the cream layer. Press gently but do not squish.
Add Remaining Cream
- Spread the rest of the whipped cream mixture on top of the second layer. Smooth it evenly.
Decorate the Cake
- Add sprinkles, chocolate chips, or small Twinkie pieces on top for decoration.
Chill Before Serving
- Place the cake in the fridge for at least 1-2 hours before serving. This makes it soft and creamy.
Serve and Enjoy
