Instructions

  1. With mixer on medium-high speed, beat cream cheese, cream, cocoa, espresso powder, and vanilla extract until soft peaks form. Gradually beat in sugar until stiff peaks form.

  2. Line 8 1/2"-x-4 1/2" loaf pan with plastic wrap. Line bottom and sides of pan with cookies. Add half of cream mixture to pan; spread into even layer. Top with double layer of cookies. Repeat with remaining cream and another double layer of cookies. (You may not need to use all cookies.) Cover pan with plastic. Refrigerate overnight.

  3. Remove plastic from pan. Cover with long serving platter. Invert cake onto platter. Drizzle with melted chocolate. Serve immediately or refrigerate, covered, up to 2 days before serving.

Why this Cappuccino Icebox Cake works for PCOS

Desserts on a PCOS plan are not banned, but timing and pairing matter. Eating sweet foods immediately after a balanced meal (rather than on an empty stomach) blunts the blood sugar response, since protein and fat slow gastric emptying. This Cappuccino Icebox Cake works best as an occasional post-dinner option rather than a standalone snack.
