This no-bake Mocha Chip Icebox Cake layers rich chocolate chip cookies with a creamy mocha-mascarpone filling, making a dreamy, coffee-infused dessert that’s perfect for make-ahead entertaining.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1/3 cup white sugar
- 1 teaspoon instant coffee powder
- 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 3 tablespoons coffee liqueur
- 2 cups cold heavy cream
- 12 ounces mascarpone cheese or cream cheese
- 4 (8 ounce) packages chocolate chocolate chip cookies (about 45), such as Tate’s Bake Shop Double Chocolate Chip Cookies
Instructions
- In a small bowl, combine the white sugar, instant coffee powder, and cocoa powder. Add the vanilla extract and coffee liqueur, mixing until the coffee powder is dissolved. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the heavy cream with a hand mixer or stand mixer on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form.
- In a separate bowl, beat the mascarpone cheese (or cream cheese) until smooth. Gradually fold the coffee mixture into the mascarpone cheese until fully combined.
- Gently fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture until smooth and creamy.
- To assemble, arrange a layer of chocolate chocolate chip cookies in the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish or a similar-sized pan.
- Spread a layer of the creamy mocha mixture over the cookies. Repeat the layers until all the cookies and cream mixture are used, ending with a layer of the cream mixture on top.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight, to allow the cake to set.
- Serve chilled and enjoy the rich, creamy flavors of mocha and chocolate!
Notes
- Use strong brewed coffee instead of liqueur for a non-alcoholic version.
- Make ahead and refrigerate overnight for best texture and flavor.
- Top with chocolate shavings or cocoa powder for an extra indulgent finish.
