For the Cream Filling:

• 8 oz mascarpone cheese (room temperature)
• 1 cup heavy cream
• ½ cup powdered sugar
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 tbsp cocoa powder (for dusting)

Instructions

Prepare the Graham Layers

1. Brew the coffee and let it cool to room temperature. Add coffee liqueur if desired.
2. Break the graham crackers into squares and dip each piece into the cooled coffee mixture quickly. Do not soak them, just a brief dip to avoid sogginess.
3. Arrange a layer of dipped graham crackers in the bottom of a 9×9-inch dish, covering the entire surface.

Make the Cream Filling

1. In a large mixing bowl, beat the mascarpone cheese until smooth and creamy.
2. In another bowl, beat the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.
3. Gently fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture until fully combined, creating a light, fluffy filling.

Assemble the Cake

1. Spread half of the cream mixture evenly over the graham cracker layer.
2. Add another layer of dipped graham crackers on top of the cream.
3. Top with the remaining cream mixture and spread it out evenly.

Chill & Serve

1. Cover the cake with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight for the best flavor.
2. Before serving, dust the top with a light sprinkle of cocoa powder.
