Ingredients
Scale
- 20 regular oreos
- ¼ cup unsalted butter
- melted
- ¾ cup heavy whipping cream
- 8 oz. bittersweet chocolate
- chopped roughly
- 2 Tbsp Khalua
- 1 Tbsp vodka
- 1 ½ – 2 tsp espresso powder
- 2 cups very cold heavy whipping cream
- ½ cup sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1¼ cups heavy whipping cream
- 4 oz. mascarpone
- softened
- but still a bit cool
- 2 tsp espresso powder
- ⅓–½ cup powdered sugar
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Crush the Oreos in a food processor until fine and mix with melted butter.
- Press the Oreo mixture into the bottom of a greased 9×9 inch pan to form the crust and bake for 10 minutes.
- In a saucepan, heat ¾ cup heavy whipping cream until just boiling. Remove from heat and add in the chopped chocolate, stirring until melted and smooth.
- Add Khalua, vodka, and espresso powder to the melted chocolate mixture, then let it cool slightly.
- In a large bowl, whip 2 cups of cold heavy cream, sugar, and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.
- Gently fold the whipped cream into the chocolate mixture until well combined, and pour over the baked Oreo crust. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
- To make the mascarpone whipped cream, whip together the 1¼ cups heavy whipping cream, mascarpone, espresso powder, powdered sugar, and vanilla in a bowl until soft peaks form.
- Spread the mascarpone whipped cream over the chilled chocolate layer. Refrigerate for another 2-3 hours or until set.
- Slice into squares and serve chilled.
Notes
For a stronger coffee flavor, increase the amount of espresso powder to your taste. Make sure all your cream is very cold for the best whipping results.
