Place another layer of cookies on top, lying flat and touching, followed by 1/2 of the remaining cream. Repeat with the remaining cookies and cream.

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

I absolutely loved the mocha flavor in this icebox cake. The end results depend on how good your cookies are. I used Chips Ahoy. Read More

I have not made it yet but have a question. Is this a crunchy cake or do the cookies soften in the frig? Read More

This was a snap to make and it was delicious. I enjoyed the tender texture of the cookies and chocolate chips alongside the smooth rich cream filling. The espresso powder lends a very nice hint of coffee. Read More

This is delicious! I made my own espresso powder and made my own cake pan size 8 inch chocolate chip cookies- two layers. Assembled in springform pan and refrigerated. Everyone loved it! Begging for more! Read More

This was a great tasting dessert that my husband and I loved. Easy to make. I used what was on hand. Instead of mascarpone, I used cream cheese. I probably used to big of a dish because I did not have enough cream mixture for the top. So I whipped another cup of heavy cream with a dash of vanilla, bit of sugar and a scant amount of expresso. It complimented the other two layers. I did use Chips Ahoy as someone suggested. They were perfect. This tasted perfect the next day if you can wait that long to try some. LOL Read More

I haven’t made this. It’s a rip-off of Ina Gartens icebox cake made with Tate’s chocolate chip cookies. Her version has 5-6 layers and looks beautiful and elegant. It’s always a huge hit at every party. Google it you won’t be sorry. Read More
