Espresso and Mascarpone Icebox Cake image

Oh My! This has got to be one of the easiest and most heavenly tasting cake I've ever made! I found this recipe on Epicurious...it's one of their highest-rated recipes of the month! You've gotta try this and don't substitute the wafers...some of reviewers used vanilla wafers instead because they can't find the chocolate wafers. Cooking time is chilling time.
