Ina Garten’s chocolate mocha icebox cake is a play on the classic dessert. Good-quality, store-bought chocolate chip cookies, and chocolate/Kahlua flavored whipped cream are layered upon each other to create this masterpiece. Last but not least, the chocolate shavings on top add a regal flair it rightly deserves.
Directions. Spread a fifth of the mocha whipped cream evenly over the cookies. Place another layer of cookies on top, lying flat and touching, followed by another fifth of the cream. Continue layering cookies and cream until there are 5 layers of each, ending with a layer of cream. Smooth the top, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate overnight.
Run a knife around the rim of the cake to loosen the edges and then carefully remove the sides of the springform pan. Or, use this handy Ina Garten cake serving hack. Finish the icebox cake with a generous sprinkling of chocolate shavings, slice, and serve.
