Steps:
- In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, combine the heavy cream, mascarpone, sugar, coffee liqueur, cocoa powder, espresso powder, and vanilla. Mix on low speed to combine and then slowly raise the speed, until it forms firm peaks.
- To assemble the cake, arrange chocolate chip cookies flat in an 8-inch springform pan, covering the bottom as much as possible. (I break some cookies to fill in the spaces.) Spread a fifth of the mocha whipped cream evenly over the cookies. Place another layer of cookies on top, lying flat and touching, followed by another fifth of the cream. Continue layering cookies and cream until there are 5 layers of each, ending with a layer of cream. Smooth the top, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate overnight.
- Run a small sharp knife around the outside of the cake and remove the sides of the pan. Sprinkle the top with the chocolate, cut in wedges, and serve cold.

Tips:
- Use high-quality chocolate. The better the chocolate, the better the mousse cake will be. Look for chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 70%.
- Make sure the cream is cold. Cold cream will whip up better and create a lighter, fluffier mousse.
- Don't over-whip the cream. Over-whipped cream will become grainy and won't hold its shape. Whip the cream until it is just stiff enough to hold peaks.
- Fold the whipped cream into the chocolate mixture gently. Over-mixing will deflate the mousse and make it less fluffy.
- Chill the mousse cake for at least 4 hours before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld and the cake to set.
