Ingredients:

• 1 package Oreos (36 cookies, use 31-36 total)
• 1 cup bittersweet chocolate chips
• 1 block cream cheese (8 oz.)
• 1 pint (2 cups) heavy whipping cream
• 3 tbsp instant coffee, divided
• ½ cup powdered sugar

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Oreo crust: Finely crush 10 Oreos and press them firmly into the bottom of an 8 x 8-inch baking dish to form the crust. Use the back of a spoon or a measuring cup to create an even layer.
2. Melt the chocolate: Place the bittersweet chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on high for 30 seconds, stir, then repeat in 30-second intervals until fully melted and smooth.
3. Make the mocha cream cheese filling: Cube the cream cheese and add it to the melted chocolate. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of instant coffee over the top and stir until the mixture is smooth and combined. Set aside to cool slightly.
4. Whip the cream: In a large bowl or stand mixer, add the heavy whipping cream. Sprinkle the remaining 2 tablespoons of instant coffee and powdered sugar over the cream. Stir gently to combine, then beat on high speed until stiff peaks form.
5. Lighten the filling: Stir ½ cup of the whipped cream into the mocha cream cheese mixture to lighten it. Once combined, gently fold in an additional 1 cup of whipped cream until smooth.
6. Assemble the layers:
   • Spread the chocolate cream cheese mixture over the Oreo crust, forming an even layer.
   • Arrange 16 whole Oreos on top of the chocolate cream cheese layer.
   • Spread the remaining coffee whipped cream evenly over the Oreo layer.
7. Finish with a crumb topping: Crush 5-10 of the remaining Oreos with your hands and sprinkle the crumbs over the whipped cream layer.
8. Chill: Cover the dish loosely with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 8 hours or overnight to allow the dessert to set.
9. Serve: When ready to serve, let the dessert sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes to make cutting easier. Slice and enjoy!
