  2. In a large mixing bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream until it forms soft peaks.

  3. Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract to the whipped cream. Continue to whip until stiff peaks form.

  4. Gently fold the dissolved coffee into the whipped cream, creating a mocha-flavored whipped cream.

  6. Place a layer of chocolate wafers or chocolate graham crackers on top of the whipped cream.

  7. Spread a layer of mocha whipped cream over the chocolate layer.

  8. Repeat the process, alternating between chocolate layers and mocha whipped cream, until you have used all the ingredients. Ensure the top layer is mocha whipped cream.

  9. Cover the cake with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow the cake to set.

  10. Before serving, garnish the Mocha Chocolate Icebox Cake with grated dark chocolate.

Tip of the Day

“Always let your meat rest before slicing.”

Whether you're roasting a chicken, grilling steak, or baking pork tenderloin, letting cooked meat rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing allows the juices to redistribute evenly. This simple step keeps your meat juicy and tender, ensuring every bite is flavorful and moist. Bonus: It gives you a moment to plate your sides or garnish for a perfect presentation!
