Categories     dessert

Time 20m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 cups cold heavy cream
12 ounces Italian mascarpone cheese
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup Kahlua liqueur
2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder, such as Pernigotti
1 teaspoon instant espresso powder
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
3 (8-ounce) packages Tate's Bake Shop chocolate chip cookies
Shaved semisweet chocolate, for garnish

Steps:

  • In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, combine the heavy cream, mascarpone, sugar, Kahlua, cocoa powder, espresso powder and vanilla. Mix on low speed to combine and then slowly raise the speed until it forms firm peaks.
  • To assemble the cake, arrange chocolate chip cookies flat in an 8-inch springform pan, covering the bottom as much as possible. (I break some cookies to fill in the spaces.) Spread a fifth of the mocha whipped cream evenly over the cookies. Place another layer of cookies on top, lying flat and touching, followed by another fifth of the cream. Continue layering cookies and cream until there are 5 layers of each, ending with a layer of cream. Smooth the top, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.
  • Run a small sharp knife around the outside of the cake and remove the sides of the pan. Sprinkle the top with the chocolate, cut into wedges and serve cold.

Provided by MA HIKER

Categories     Dessert

Time 1h45m

Yield 16 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 (18 1/4 ounce) box plain white cake mix
2 cups coffee ice cream, melted
3 large eggs (or 3/4 cup egg substitute)
1 tablespoon instant coffee powder (or espresso powder)
2 cups confectioners' sugar
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
3/4 cup marshmallow creme
1/2 cup butter
1/4 cup whole milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Place rack in center of oven and preheat to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Lightly mist a 12-cup bundt pan with vegetable oil spray, then dust with flour. Shake out excess flour and set pan aside.
  • Place cake mix, melted ice cream, eggs and coffee powder in large mixing bowl.
  • Blend with electric mixer on low speed for 1 minute. Stop machine and scrape down sides of bowl with rubber spatula. Increase mixer speed to medium and beat 2-3 minutes more, scraping down sides again if necessary. The batter should look thick and well-combined.
  • Pour batter into prepared pan, smoothing it out with rubber spatula.
  • Bake cake until it springs back when lightly pressed with your finger and is just starting to pull away from the sides of the pan, 40-45 minutes.
  • Remove pan from oven and place on wire rack to cool for 20 minutes.
  • Run a long, sharp knife around edge of cake and invert it onto rack to cool completely, 20 minutes more.
  • Meanwhile as the cake cools, prepare the Chocolate Marshmallow Frosting: Sift confectioner's sugar and cocoa powder together into a large mixing bowl. Set bowl aside.Place marshmallow creme, butter and milk in a medium-size heavy saucepan over medium-low heat. Stir until the butter and marshmallow creme have melted, 2-3 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat. Pour the sugar cocoa mixture over the marshmallow mixture. Add 1 tsp vanilla and stir until frosting is smooth and satiny. Makes 1 1/2 cups.
  • When the cake is completely cooled, slide the cake onto a serving platter, and pour the warm frosting over the cake. Let the cake rest for 10 minutes before slicing.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better the cake will taste. Use real butter, fresh cream, and high-quality chocolate.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter can make the cake tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This is the best way to tell if the cake is done.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting it: This will help the frosting to set properly.
  • Use a serrated knife to cut the cake: This will help to prevent the cake from crumbling.

Conclusion:

Mocha crunch ice cream cake is a delicious and refreshing dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be customized to your liking.
