Last night was book club and I wanted to bring this dessert. It was a hit. This was a nice, "light" (as in not rich) dessert that had just enough chocolate and coffee to it. The 6 year old who attended book club gave it a very enthusiastic thumbs up. If a 6 year old loves it, you know it's good. 

Frozen Mocha Marbled Loaf

Recipe from Taste of Home

Servings 12

• 2 c finely crushed Oreo cookies (about 20 cookies)
• 3 T butter, melted
• 1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
• 1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 2 c heavy whipping cream, whipped
• 2 T instant coffee granules
• 1 T hot water
• 1/2 c chocolate syrup

Line a 9x5-in. loaf pan with foil. In a bowl, combine the cookie crumbs and butter. Press firmly onto the bottom and 1-1/2 in. up the sides of prepared pan.

In a large bowl, beat cream cheese until light and fluffy. Add milk and vanilla and mix well. Fold in whipped cream. Spoon half of the mixture into another bowl and set aside. Dissolve coffee in hot water; fold into remaining cream cheese mixture. Fold in chocolate syrup.

Spoon half of the chocolate mixture over crust. Top with half of the reserved cream cheese mixture. Repeat layers. Cut through layers with a knife to swirl the chocolate (pan will be full). Cover and freeze for 6 hours or overnight.

To serve, lift out of the pan; remove foil. Cut into slices.
