Frozen Mocha Dessert

This recipe came from my aunt and has been a family favorite for years.  It is smooth, rich and oh-so delicious! I use lite cool whip and 1/3 less fat cream cheese and it still turns out great.  If you will serve it in the evening you may want to consider using decaf coffee.

24 Oreos, crushed
1/4 cup butter, melted
16 oz cream cheese
14 oz sweetened condensed milk
1/2 cup chocolate syrup
1 Tbsp hot water
2 Tbsp instant coffee
12 oz cool whip or 1 cup heavy cream, whipped

Mix most of the crushed Oreos (reserving a small handful for the topping) with melted butter and press into the bottom of a 9 x 13 pan. Chill in the freezer while you prepare the rest of the dessert. In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese until it becomes fluffy. Mix in the sweetened condensed milk and chocolate syrup. Dissolve the coffee in the hot water and add it to the cream cheese mixture. Mix well. Fold in whipped cream. Remove pan with crust from the freezer and pour cream cheese mixture over the crust. Top with crushed Oreos and chill in the freezer for at least 6 hours or overnight.
