#### **Step 2: Prepare the Creamy Filling**
1. **Whip the cream**: In a mixing bowl, beat the heavy cream and powdered sugar together until stiff peaks form.
2. **Add cocoa and coffee**: In a separate bowl, mix the cocoa powder and instant coffee powder together. Gently fold this mixture into the whipped cream, ensuring it’s fully incorporated.
3. **Incorporate the cream cheese**: Add the softened cream cheese and vanilla extract to the whipped cream mixture. Whisk everything together until smooth and creamy.
4. **Spread over the base**: Remove the chilled cookie base from the fridge and spread the creamy filling evenly over the top.
#### **Step 3: Make the Chocolate Ganache**
1. **Heat the cream**: In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream over low heat until it’s just about to simmer.
2. **Melt the chocolate**: Pour the hot cream over the chocolate chips in a bowl. Let it sit for about a minute, then stir until the chocolate is fully melted and the ganache is smooth.
3. **Drizzle the ganache**: Allow the ganache to cool slightly before pouring it over the creamy filling. You can spread it out with a spatula or let it drip naturally for a more rustic look.
#### **Step 4: Chill and Serve**
1. **Chill the cake**: Place the cake in the refrigerator for at least 3-4 hours, or overnight if you can. This gives the cake time to set and allows the flavors to develop.
2. **Serve and enjoy**: Once fully chilled, remove the cake from the pan, slice, and serve. Garnish with a dusting of cocoa powder or chocolate shavings for a finishing touch, and you’re ready to enjoy!
