This Week's Recipe:

Chocolate Cookies and Cream Squares

by Stella Zedman

This delicious combination of chocolate cookies and luscious chocolate cream is a match made in dessert heaven. Sprinkled with grated chocolate, these sweet squares are simple to make but difficult to resist.

Ingredients

Cooking Instructions

1. In a small bowl, mix together the instant coffee and the water, stirring to dissolve. Pour the whipping cream into a large mixing bowl and add the coffee mixture, the chocolate syrup and the icing sugar. Beat with an electric mixer until the cream forms soft peaks -- stop beating just short of completely stiff or it will be difficult to work with.
2. In an 8-inch (20 cm) square baking dish, make a layer of chocolate wafer cookies, overlapping them just enough to cover the bottom of the dish almost completely. Spoon one third of the chocolate cream over the cookies and spread it to cover. Make another layer of cookies, and cover it with another layer of cream. And finally a third layer of cookies and all the rest of the cream (you're ending with the cream). Sprinkle the top with grated chocolate. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate at least overnight -- or for as long as 48 hours. As it sets, the cookies will soften so that you can cut the dessert into squares to serve.
