MOCHA CHOCOLATE ICEBOX CAKE image

Categories     Chocolate

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 9

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

Steps:

  • In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, combine the heavy cream, mascarpone, sugar, coffee liqueur, 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 in wedges, and serve cold.

This cake is a bit too expensive to make. I would not recommend it for a budget-minded baker.

The cake was a bit dry. I think I would have preferred a cake with a moister texture.

This cake is too sweet for my taste. I would recommend using less sugar in the frosting.

The cake was not as flavorful as I expected. I think I would have preferred a chocolate cake with a stronger coffee flavor.

This cake is a bit too time-consuming to make. I would not recommend it for a busy weeknight.

The cake was a bit too crumbly for my taste. I think I would have preferred a denser cake.

This cake is a bit on the sweet side for me, but it's still very good. I would recommend using a semisweet chocolate instead of a milk chocolate.
