- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Crush the Oreos in a food processor until finely ground, then mix with the melted butter.
- Press the Oreo mixture into the bottom of a greased 9×9-inch baking dish and bake for 10 minutes. Remove and let cool.
- In a saucepan, heat ¾ cup of heavy whipping cream until just boiling. Pour over the chopped bittersweet chocolate, Kahlua, vodka, and espresso powder. Stir until smooth.

- Spread the chocolate cream layer evenly over the cooled Oreo crust and refrigerate for 20 minutes to set.
- For the espresso mascarpone whipped cream, whip together 1¼ cups heavy whipping cream, mascarpone, espresso powder, powdered sugar, and vanilla until soft peaks form.
- Spread the mascarpone whipped cream over the set chocolate layer. Chill again for at least 2 hours before slicing.
- Cut into bars and serve chilled for a delicious treat.
Notes
