Mocha Loaf - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 eggs, separated
1 1/4 cups milk
1/4 cup white sugar
1 1/2 tablespoons unflavored gelatin
1 tablespoon instant coffee granules
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 cup white sugar
2 cups heavy whipping cream
waxed paper
21 chocolate wafer cookies

Preparation

Beat egg yolks in a bowl. Reserve eggs whites.
Heat milk, egg yolks, 1/4 cup sugar, gelatin, instant coffee, and salt over medium heat, stirring constantly, until gelatin dissolves, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract. Chill until gelatin mixture is thickened to the consistency of unbeaten egg whites, about 1 hour.
Beat egg whites in a glass or metal bowl until foamy. Gradually add 1/4 cup sugar, continuing to beat until soft peaks form. Lift your beater or whisk straight up: the egg whites will form soft mounds. Fold gelatin mixture into egg whites.
Beat heavy cream in another until stiff peaks form. Fold egg white-gelatin mixture into whipped cream until evenly blended.
Line a loaf pan with waxed paper.
Spread about 1/4 the cream mixture into prepared loaf pan. Layer about 7 wafers over cream mixture. Repeat layers, ending with the cream mixture. Cover and refrigerate until set, about 3 hours.
