Ingredients

  • 30 thin chocolate wafer cookies, crushed (1 1/2 cups crumbs)
  • 6 tablespoons butter or margarine, melted
  • 1/2 cup strong brewed coffee (room temperature)
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons coffee-flavored liqueur
  • 1 package (10.75 oz) frozen pound cake loaf, thawed
  • 1 cup whipping cream
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 container (8 oz) mascarpone cheese
  • 1 tablespoon unsweetened baking cocoa

Instructions

  • Step

    In chilled large bowl, beat whipping cream and powdered sugar with electric mixer on high speed until soft peaks form. Add mascarpone cheese; beat on medium speed until stiff peaks form (do not overbeat). Spread half of whipped cream mixture over crust in pan. Top with pound cake slices, fitting snugly together. Brush with coffee syrup mixture until absorbed. Spread with remaining whipped cream mixture. Sift or sprinkle cocoa over top.
