For anyone thinking “I want this, but don’t want to make an entire cake”, make individual ones in Dixie Cups. You can decide whether or not you want to carefully slice off the cup once they’re set; after all, you are the Don Draper of cups made from paper. Also, Oreo Thins are perfect for this kind of recipe.
A biscoff would be good too. I am thinking of trying biscoff with some almond extract. It’s peach season here. Sliced fresh on the side would taste great.

Used to make this all the time. They sold "Icebox Cookies" at the store that were rectangular but were basically Oreo cookies without the cream. Now you can buy 6" Oreo rounds to make ice cream sandwiches, but it works perfectly for this recipe.
YUM! Will definitely be trying this. My current favourite dessert is one my mom has been making my whole life, which is basically this recipe except with ginger snaps, then layers of sliced banana and layers of whipped cream. But mocha is one of my favourite flavours. Thanks Chef!
This is the kind of Chef John recipe that makes me wonder how wise I was to subscribe. I could only make this if I knew a crowd of people was about to descend on my kitchen when I removed it from the icebox.
You have given me an idea. My husband wants me to do something with ginger snaps. I have spent all summer trying to perfect a peach custard to make peach pudding with ginger snaps. He is not a cake person, but he may love this with ginger snaps.
I made this ... with a fair amount of mistakes ... and it still came out wonderful! I couldn't find any cookies like you mentioned so used a generic chocolate graham cracker. Pain in the petunia to break and fit in a round pan, but I managed. Also, I forgot the cream and ended up adding it after the cream cheese. However, I think this mistake actually worked better because I didn't have to worry about over-beating. It was a big hit with the family and our visiting guests. Thank you!
You will be totally loka, if you dont make this Mocha....cake. Thanks for the wonderful and seemingly easy recipe Chef John, can't wait to make it soon!
My favorite cakes are Tiramisu and a dark mocha chocolate cake with pudding-buttercreme, this recipe feels like a combination of both! Definitely gonna try this!
0:18 - *Chef John:* _"And now that we got that History lesson out of the way..." *Me:* _"You are, after all, the _*_Max Miller_*_ of how to pad the run-time with anecdotal filler!"_ 😉😅👍
Honestly, I danced a Polka When I saw Chef John was using Moccha And overjoyed was I seeing it was a cake That as preparation we wouldn't have to bake And I am the Jamie Foxx Of making it in an Icebox But what was really unnerving To see he made an individual serving
Love your videos and I will try this. However I have a special pound cake I love and is the cake I make exclusively for myself and for my family. Actually I gave the recipe to my oldest son as a birthday present. He knew it was special and loved the present.
Chef John, ever hear of a Jello Refrigerator Cake? My mom made them for me for my birthday in the hot northern Calfiornia summers. Make a Lemon pound cake poke it full of holes, then pour hot lime jello over the top and put it in the refer to chill/firm. Then ice. Serve cold with ice cream!
My mother made something similar to this, just bake a white cake in a single layer (9x13?) then poke holes in it and pour a box of hot cherry jello over it and put it the refrigerator to set up. After it’s chilled she would put marshmallow cream on top for a frosting. Man, those were good! Thanks for the memory!
I grew up with icebox cake; Nabisco's 'Famous" chocolate wafers were the crisp cookie of choice. Nabisco sadly stopped making them. If you google 'chocolate wafer cookies' you'll get a bunch of recipes to replicate them.
I just made this Hopefully I'll awaken to Chef Johns Ice Box Cake . . Chef John, number one. I'm just putting on the pounds, one by one ...I am the dude of my food.... 😅
I love icebox cakes! I will have to try this one. Have you tried a Maria Lime ice box cake or a Chocotorta ? (I know it's technically not an ice box cake but it's no bake as well)
My mother made this a couple of times a year. It was called a gramcracker refrigerator cake. Heavy whipping cream, sugar, coco powder Mix until it's the same as your was. On a platter put a layer of gramcrackers a layer of whipped cream gramcrackers whipped cream ect. Add sprinkles on top layer of whipped cream. Cover and refrigerate at least 24 hours so the gramcrackers soften up. Enjoy!
This is very similar to Ina Gartens Mocha Icebox cake too. She also uses 3 bags Tates 8 oz. However, not everyone has access to Tates which are now 7 oz bags. Do you have other options since Tates are a unique texture and taste? I thought of thin oreos but wondered if they would turn cake-like or if they are too strong. Sometimes Oreo based dessert can taste all Oreo tasting!! Wafers would probably turn mushy, lost for choices or ideas.
Possible option for a fancy presentation: Instead of filling between the whole cookies on top with pieces, wait until ready to serve and fill in the spaces with berries.

As soon as you said the cookies should be crispy, my mind went to gingersnaps.
This would be amazing with gingersnaps and pumpkin mousse!
I love gingersnaps. My goto BISCUIT!
Gonna add that to a thanksgiving bake list... Or not-bake list lol!!
A biscoff would be good too. I am thinking of trying biscoff with some almond extract. It’s peach season here. Sliced fresh on the side would taste great.
Ooh...I bet my daughter would love that.
Well, you are after all The Dude of what goes in your food.
I've watched chef John for nearly a decade now. Love his cheery attitude towards cooking and the sign off 😊
You are, after all, the Sir Francis Drake of your Mocha Chip Ice Box Cake.
Good one
I prefer it without the Swiss cheese tho, not a big fan of Swiss. I’d do cheddar or American
@@readytogo3186 it depends, how many have u ate?
@@DefaultCommenter His recipe has nothing to do with how many I have eaten. I was just asking when he said the recipe contained Swiss cheese.
@@readytogo3186 if there’s too many people there, it can start to rain if that’s what ur referring to. Idk if u like pancakes or waffles in the morning, but I’m more of a steak and eggs guy
I think I could stop with making the mousse and be happy just eating that.
I do so miss the Nabisco's Famous Wafers that were the staple of these kinds of icebox cakes for decades until the discontinued them.
Those were the best, I have found nothing that quite substitutes for them
So, this is like tiramisu but more approachable. I would love to try this. Thank you, Chef John!
yes, they are, and fantastic, you must try making one!

Mine too. My mum used to make when I was a little girl. Shaped it into a long log and decorated it with chocolate buttons turning it into a hedgehog!!
This is the kind of Chef John recipe that makes me wonder how wise I was to subscribe. I could only make this if I knew a crowd of people was about to descend on my kitchen when I removed it from the icebox.
You make this & I'll show up for a piece. 2-3 times in a row.
You've given me an idea: why does toothpaste not come with a star tip? That could be fun, and maybe enhance our toothbrushing experience.
Excellent idea!
I'd buy that.
It does. And it's sparkly and tastes like bubblegum
Chef John your creations do things to my insides I never though possible, you're a dangerous man.
That sounds kinda naughty 😂
@@sharonm.t.2492 chef john rearranged his guts lol
Looks so easy and delicious! I will need to try this! Thank you for sharing
This is something that I would love to eat a single slice of with a group but will never make because that's not how it would go down. 😂
I'd eat the whole thing over two days.
After all these years, recipes still magnificent and delightfully present too, sir! Thank you 👍

Love watching and great cheffing!
This is almost a tiramisu, still looks great even if different!
Yum, yes I love "coffee" cakes.
Looks amazing. A must try.
Thanks for this! It has given me lots of good sounding ideas. Peanut butter mousse with the chocolate chocolate chip cookie. 😋

Look very delicious 🤤 😋
"I mean, after all, you are the 'Dude' of what goes in your food."
My version of this was made with lemon filling and crispy pecan cookies. Sometimes that much chocolate is overwhelming.
You will be totally loka, if you dont make this Mocha....cake. Thanks for the wonderful and seemingly easy recipe Chef John, can't wait to make it soon!
That's quite the stretch 😆
Yum🤤, I cooked & baked some of the worlds best dishes & desserts, Thanks to you Sir👨🍳John!!!
Basically tiramisu with some twists?
Also, great recipe. Looks easy and delicious. 👍
You had me with The Big Lebowski!
This No-Bake Mocha Chip Icebox Cake looks absolutely divine! Perfect for a quick and delicious dessert. Thanks for the recipe!
I’m making this cake! It looks so yummy!
That cake looks beautiful!
It looks great, but it's so hot out I might just put it all together and then set myself into the fridge for 24 hours instead.
😂😂haha, that's how I feel about it
This looks amazing!
Delicious
My favorite cakes are Tiramisu and a dark mocha chocolate cake with pudding-buttercreme, this recipe feels like a combination of both! Definitely gonna try this!
This was uploaded at the perfect time to make this for my partners birthday!!! Thank you Chef!!!!
I must make this cake, looks so delicious 🤩😋
That looks amazing 🎉
Nice looking dessert ❤
Oh Hell Yes !!!
Reminds me of tiramisu. This should be awesome.
Chocolate, chocolate chip cookies are my favorite! Yummm! I want that cake. The whole thing. And a fork, please.
That looks absolutely amazing! 🤩
It looks so good! I will not make it because I would eat it all!!!
For the cookie, how good an idea do we think oreos would be?
Gonna have to try this one!

Of making it in an Icebox
But what was really unnerving
To see he made an individual serving
Yummm

I adore ice box cakes.
Yummy!
I think I'll make this for a birthday cake - looks extra special and fancy!
That is one beautiful ice box cake! So versatile if you went ginger snap cookies too!

There were a lot of ins and outs to this recipe

That’s something I would definitely make!

Oh yeah, I remember eating something like this. They used pudding and graham crackers, though, but the process looks about the same.
So basically cookies and cream 😋
The Dude! Nice homage to “The Big Lebowski”! Well played!
🤎🤍🤎 I love your shows!
😋. I made a baked chocolate cheesecake to see if I could. Fresh CHERRY JAM on top. OMG!

Yes, this should be a necessity for a B.B.Q!
Its also kinda "fun" in that it has the throwback name!
This is a Beautiful Disaster. Now I know how to do a Perfect Icebox Cake. Thank You Chef !!!
Not make this cake!?!??! OMG. It’s just too fine to not make and of course EAT. ❤

Fancy Chocolate Ripple Cake
As a Dude-ist priest, I absolutely give this my blessing.
Came for the amazing recipes. Stayed for the dad jokes.
Yum! Except for my lactose intolerance.
I'm sure you could use a dairy-free whip. It would still be delicious 😋
You are The Dude of what goes in your food😂
Im going to try to make a dairy free version with coconut cream and vegan cream cheese, wish me luck!
Simple enough for me to make without all that dough mess
Another cookie not to use for this: Ladyfingers, because then it's just tiramisu!
The Dude abides...
What do we think about using palmieres instead of cookies? Or would they get soggy?
Can you use just regular chocolate chip cookies instead?
I know what I'm making for my wife's next birthday.
