Ina Garten’s Mocha Chocolate Icebox Cake (1,408 views)

I think this looks  gorgeous.  love chocolate and coffee. as usual with "Ina" dishes I looked at the recipe. holy cow. is this rich or what??  if I were offered it, I'd try it.  some things are  too over- the- top for me to enjoy.  this looks like one of those.  I was imagining  something like the whipped cream/chocolate wafer cookie dessert I used to love.   dont know if those wafer cookies are still around.    this sounds is considerably richer. 

anytime I look at an Ina recipe I immediately  consider if it would work  with 1/2 the  fat and sugar, if I  choose to try it.   I did look at the recipe, and probably not in this lifetime. interestingly, I saw the cookies she used, Tate's bakeshop chocolate chip, in the grocery a day ago.  since I am on the opposite coast , I was surprised. they were on a display  near the Deli. weird.   still not going to try this.  Im not used  to such overwhelmingly rich fare  and doubt I would like it.   still, fun to  look.
