Description

This mocha chocolate chip icebox cake recipe uses mascarpone for richness and espresso powder to add mocha-like richness to this no-bake icebox cake.

Ingredients

• 1 cup heavy cream

• 1 (8 ounce) container mascarpone cheese

• 1/4 cup white sugar

• 1 tablespoon instant espresso powder

• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

• 1 (13 ounce) package crispy chocolate chip cookies

Directions

1 Beat cream, mascarpone, sugar, espresso, and vanilla extract together in a large bowl with an electric mixer until firm peaks form.

2 Arrange single layer cookies in an 8-inch cake pan or springform pan, covering the bottom as much as possible; spread ⅓ whipped cream mixture evenly over cookies. Arrange another layer cookies on top, lying flat and touching; spread ½ remaining whipped cream mixture over cookies. Repeat with remaining cookies and whipped cream mixture.

3 Smooth top, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate until flavors combine, 4 hours to overnight.
