Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 package chocolate wafer cookies
  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • ½ cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons instant coffee granules
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ cup cocoa powder
  • ½ cup chocolate shavings optional, for garnish

Method
 

  1. Dissolve coffee granules in 2 tablespoons hot water.
  2. Whip heavy cream with powdered sugar, cocoa powder, and vanilla until stiff peaks form.
  3. Dip each wafer cookie briefly into coffee mixture and layer at the bottom of a loaf pan.
  4. Spread a layer of whipped chocolate cream over the cookies.
  5. Repeat layers until pan is full, finishing with whipped cream on top.
  6. Garnish with chocolate shavings if desired.
  7. Cover and chill in the fridge for at least 4 hours or overnight before serving.

Notes

Do not soak cookies too long, just a quick dip to prevent sogginess.
Chill for several hours to allow flavors to meld and cookies to soften.
Use high-quality cocoa powder for richer chocolate flavor.
Store in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
Optional: add a sprinkle of espresso powder on top for extra mocha kick.
