Now, I wish I could take credit from dreaming these up...but I can't. I found this recipe on topsecretrecipes.com. The mastermind behind this website's mission is to bring name brand foods to the kitchen. When I saw these I had to try them. And I must say the are fabulous!
Homemade Twinkies
makes 10Cake
4 egg whites
one 16 oz box golden pound cake mix (ignore box directions)
2/3 cup water
Filling
2 tsp very hot water
1/4 tsp salt
one 7 oz jar marshmallow creme
1/2 cup shortening
1/3 cup powdered sugar
1/2 tsp vanilla
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
2. Make 10 twinkie molds. Rip off 10 large tin foil sheets. Fold in half twice. Wrap the folded foil around a spice bottle to create a mold. Leave the top of the mold open for pouring in the batter. Put them on a pan (either cookie sheet or 9x13). Spray the insides with a nonstick spray.
3. Beat the egg whites until stiff.
4. In another bowl, combine the cake mix and water until thoroughly blended.
5. Carefully fold in the egg whites until combined.
6. Fill the molds about 3/4 of an inch.
7. Bake for about 30 minutes or until they look golden and a toothpick comes out clean.
8. Cool and remove the foil molds. Allow to cool completely.
9. Add the salt to the hot water and let it dissolve. Let the salt water cool.
10. Beat the marshmallow creme, shortening, powdered sugar, and vanilla in an electric mixer on high until fluffy.
11. Add the salt water and combine well.
12. Use a skewer or chopstick or the handle of a wooden spoon to poke three holes along the bottom of the twinkies.
13. Using a cake decorator or pastry bag (or a plastic baggie with a corner cut off) inject the filling into the cakes through the three holes. (Note: if you hold the cake in one hand and pipe with the other you can feel the cake swell as you squish the filling in. Be careful to not overfill or you will bust the cake!)
14. Enjoy! If you have any leftovers - store in an airtight container.
