Indulge in this layered masterpiece, marrying chocolate chip cookies and mocha mousse for a heavenly dessert experience. The cookies transform into near cake-like textures, contrasting with the velvety mocha mousse while the chocolate chips retain their firmness.
In a mixing bowl, combine sugar, coffee powder, cocoa powder, vanilla, coffee liqueur, and cream. Whisk or beat with an electric mixer until the mixture thickens but before soft peaks form. Add mascarpone and beat until stiff peaks form; overmixing may cause separation.
Refrigerate mocha cream until ready to use.
Line a 9-inch springform pan with a round of parchment paper (optional).
Place 8 cookies in the pan's bottom. Break a 9th cookie into smaller pieces and use them to fill gaps. Transfer 1/4 of the mocha cream, spreading it evenly over the cookies.
Add another layer of cookies, pressing them lightly into the filling. Add another 1/4 of the mocha mixture, spreading it evenly over the cookies. Repeat these steps with remaining ingredients, concluding with a cookie layer for a total of 5 cookie layers and 4 filling layers.
Wrap and chill for 12 to 24 hours.
To serve, gently slide a thin knife between the cake and the springform pan’s inner ring. Remove the ring, and slice and serve.
