Description

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

  1. 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.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, beat the heavy cream with a hand mixer or stand mixer on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form.
  3. 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.
  4. Gently fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture until smooth and creamy.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight, to allow the cake to set.
  8. 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.
