Ingredients

Cake

  • 2 cups (500 ml) heavy cream
  • 1 cup (340 g) mascarpone
  • 1/2 cup (105 g) caster sugar
  • 1/4 cup (60 ml) Kahlua (or a coffee shot)
  • 2 tbsp cocoa powder
  • 1 tsp instant coffee powder
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla
  • 30 (400 g) chocolate chip cookies

Whipped Cream

Decorations

  • 4 chocolate chip cookies
  • 1/2 cup (100 g) chocolate shavings

Instructions
 

Cake

  • Add the heavy cream, mascarpone, caster sugar, Kahlua, cocoa powder, instant coffee powder and vanilla extract to a large mixing bowl. Use an electric hand mixer or stand mixer with whisk attachment to beat until you reach stiff peaks.
  • Add a sheet of baking paper on the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Lay down a layer of chocolate chip cookies, cutting some cookies to fill in the gaps. Add 1/4 of the mocha cream mixture and spread around evenly using a spatula or spoon. Add the next layer of cookies and repeat the princess until you have 4 layers and finish with cream. Use a spatula to smoothen the top as smooth as you can. Place in the fridge to chill for 4 hours. Overnight is best.

Whipped Cream

  • Add the cream and vanilla extract to a large mixing bowl. Use an electric hand mixer or stand mixer with whisk attachment to beat until you reach stiff peaks. Add the whipped cream to a piping bag fitted with an open star tip.

Let's Decorate!

  • Use a sharp knife to gently score around the side of the chilled and set cake to help separate it a little from the sides of the springform pan. Unclip the springform pan and transfer the cake to a serving plate. Pipe swirls of whipped cream on top. Add chopped cookies and sprinkle the centre with chocolate shavings. Slice to serve.
