Mocha Chocolate Cake

Ingrediants:
2 cups cold heavy cream
12 ounces of Italian mascarpone cheese
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup coffee liqueur
2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
1 tsp instant espresso powder
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
250 gm chocolate chips cookies
shaved semisweet chocolates, for garnish

Procedure:
1. In a bowl mix together heavy cream, mascarpone cheese, liqueur, sugar, cocoa powder, espresso powder, vanilla extract with a electric hand mixer or stand mixer. Mix it on low speed then gradually increase the speed until it forms firm peaks.
2. To assemble the cake, form a chocolate chip cookies flat in a 8 inch springform pan, covering the bottom as much as possible (break some cookies to fill up the empty space).
3. Spread a fifth of the mocha cream evenly on the layer of cookies. Spread another layer of cookies on the top. Followed by another fifth of the cream layer. Continue layering cookies and cream until it forms 5 layers of each, ending with the layer of a cream.
4. Smooth the top. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.
5. Run a smooth, sharp knife around the outside of the cake and remove the sides of the pan. Sprinkle shaved chocolate on the top. Serve chilled.
Enjoy!
