Step 1

In a mixing bowl, add the sugar, coffee powder, cocoa powder, vanilla extract, coffee liqueur, and cold heavy cream, then beat them with a handheld mixer until thickened and before soft peaks form.

Step 2

Add the mascarpone cheese, then continue to beat just until stiff peaks form, then place it in the refrigerator, and let it chill until ready to use. Line the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan with parchment paper.

Step 3

Place 8 cookies in the bottom of the pan, then fill in the gaps with small pieces of cookies. Top it with a quarter of the mocha cream mixture spreading it evenly to the sides, and repeat 3 more times with the remaining cookies and cream.

Step 4

Finish the layer with cookies on the top, then wrap it with plastic, and place it in the refrigerator to chill for about 12 to 24 hours. Run a thin knife on the side and release the cake, then slice, and serve. Enjoy!
