Make coffee and let it cool completely.

In a bowl, combine 1 cup of mascarpone cheese and 1 cup of dulce de leche. Mix well by hand until smooth.

Prepare a square mold for assembling the choco torta.

Soak each chocolate cookie quickly in the cooled coffee, turning to soak both sides, and lay them in the mold.

Repeat soaking and layering the cookies until you have at least four layers.

Spread a layer of the mascarpone and dulce de leche mixture on top of the cookies after each layer.

If desired, mix some booze into the coffee before soaking the cookies.

Cover the final layer with any remaining filling mixture.

Refrigerate the assembled choco torta for at least three hours before serving.

Crumble any leftover cookies to use as a topping, if desired.
