🍫 Mocha Chip Icebox Cake β˜•οΈπŸ°

Mocha Chip Icebox Cake is a no-bake, creamy dessert that combines the rich flavors of coffee, chocolate, and whipped cream. This easy-to-assemble cake features layers of chocolate wafers soaked in a mocha-flavored whipped cream, making a dreamy and indulgent treat that gets better as it chills.

πŸ“‹ Ingredients:

  • 2 cups heavy whipping cream πŸ₯›
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar 🍬
  • 2 tablespoons instant coffee granules β˜•οΈ
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 🌿
  • 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips 🍫
  • 1 package (9 ounces) chocolate wafer cookies πŸͺ
  • Chocolate shavings or cocoa powder (for garnish) 🍫

πŸ“ Instructions:

1. Make the Mocha Whipped Cream:

  1. Prepare coffee mixture:
  • In a small bowl, mix the instant coffee granules with 2 tablespoons of warm water until dissolved. Set aside to cool slightly.
  1. Whip the cream:
  • In a large mixing bowl, add the heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Beat on medium-high speed until soft peaks form.
  1. Add coffee and chocolate chips:
  • Slowly pour in the coffee mixture while continuing to beat the whipped cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold in the mini chocolate chips.

2. Assemble the Icebox Cake:

  1. Layer the cake:
  • Spread a thin layer of the mocha whipped cream on the bottom of a 9×5-inch loaf pan or an 8-inch round cake pan. Arrange a layer of chocolate wafer cookies on top.
  1. Repeat layers:
  • Spread another layer of mocha whipped cream over the cookies, then add another layer of cookies. Repeat until you have 4-5 layers of cookies, ending with a layer of whipped cream on top.

3. Chill the Cake:

  1. Refrigerate:
  • Cover the pan with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight. This allows the cookies to soften and the flavors to meld together.

4. Serve:

  1. Garnish:
  • Before serving, sprinkle the top of the cake with chocolate shavings or dust with cocoa powder for an extra chocolatey finish.
  1. Slice and serve:
  • Use a sharp knife to slice the cake into portions. Serve chilled and enjoy this creamy, coffee-flavored delight!
