Equipment

  • Mixer
  • Loaf pan
  • Parchment or wax paper

Ingredients

For the flavored whip cream layer:

  • 1 pint heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tbsp Kahlua Coffee Liqueur or any other espresso flavored liquor
  • 2 tbsp Baileys Irish Cream Liqueur or any other Irish cream liquor
  • 1 tsp instant coffee

For the cream cheese layer:

  • 6 oz cream cheese softened to room temperature
  • 2 tbsp powdered sugar
  • 1 tbsp Kahlua Coffee Liqueur or any other espresso flavored liquor
  • 1 tbsp Baileys Irish Cream Liqueur or any other Irish cream liquor
  • 1/4 cup chocolate covered espresso beans finely chopped

For the cake:

  • 10 1/2 oz chocolate sandwich cookies about 1 package
  • Extra espresso beans, sprinkles, chocolate shavings, fresh flowers, etc. for garnishing and serving

Instructions

  • Spray a loaf pan with cooking spray. Then, line with wax or parchment paper and set aside.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer, whip the cream and powdered sugar, on medium speed, until soft peaks begin to form.
  • Remove half the cream to a separate container. Cover tightly and store in the refrigerator for later. This will be what you use to frost the cake.

To make the flavored whip cream layer:

  • To the remaining cream, add the Kahlua and Baileys liquor and instant coffee.
    Beat a few more seconds, or until stiff peaks form. Remove to a separate bowl and set aside.

To make the cream cheese layer:

  • Place the bowl back on the stand mixer and add in the cream cheese, powdered sugar and Kahlua and Baileys liquor.
    Beat on medium speed until smooth and well combined.
  • Fold in the chopped espresso beans with a spatula. Set aside.

To assemble the cake:

  • Spread a thin layer of the flavored whipped cream on the bottom.
  • Add a layer of cookies. (I did 8 cookies). After that, spread on the cream cheese layer.
  • Top with another layer of 8 cookies, then finish with the remaining flavored whipped cream.
  • Cover tightly and allow to set in the refrigerator for at least 24 hours.

When you're ready to serve:

  • Once you’re ready to serve the icebox cake, gently flip it onto a serving dish and carefully peel off the wax or parchment paper.
  • Frost with the reserved whipped cream, decorate as desired and slice and serve.
