Serves: 12 servings
Ingredients
- 1 package chocolate chip cookies
- 2 cups whipped cream
- 1 cup brewed coffee, cooled
- 1 cup chocolate syrup
- ½ cup cocoa powder
Instructions
- Brew coffee and allow it to cool completely to room temperature. This will be used to add mocha flavor to the cake.
- In a large mixing bowl, whip the cream until stiff peaks form. Ensure the cream is cold for best results.
- Sift the cocoa powder to remove any lumps and set aside.
- Prepare a rectangular or square baking dish for layering the icebox cake.
- Quickly dip each chocolate chip cookie into the cooled coffee, ensuring it's not soaked but lightly moistened.
- Create the first layer of coffee-dipped cookies in the bottom of the dish, covering the entire surface.
- Spread a layer of whipped cream over the cookies, covering them completely.
- Drizzle chocolate syrup and sprinkle cocoa powder lightly over the whipped cream layer.
- Repeat the layering process: coffee-dipped cookies, whipped cream, chocolate syrup, and cocoa powder.
- Continue layering until you've used all the cookies and cream, typically 2-3 layers.
- Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4-6 hours or overnight to allow flavors to meld.
- Before serving, dust the top with additional cocoa powder and drizzle with extra chocolate syrup for garnish.
- Slice and serve chilled, enjoying the rich mocha and chocolate flavors.
Tips
- Temperature Matters: Ensure your whipped cream is cold before whipping to achieve the perfect stiff peaks.
- Coffee Technique: When dipping cookies, use a quick dip to moisten without making them soggy – this keeps the texture just right.
- Layering is Key: Take your time creating even layers for a stunning presentation.
- Chilling Time: Be patient and let the cake set for at least 4-6 hours, or preferably overnight, to develop deep, rich flavors.
- Cocoa Powder Tip: Sift the cocoa powder to prevent lumps and ensure a smooth, elegant finish.
- Serving Suggestion: For an extra touch of elegance, garnish with a light dusting of cocoa powder and a drizzle of chocolate syrup just before serving.
- Make Ahead: This cake is perfect for preparing in advance – it actually gets more delicious as it sits in the refrigerator!
