In large bowl, beat mascarpone cheese and powdered sugar until just blended.  Fold in ricotta and whipped topping; set aside.

In cup or small bowl, combine coffee and coffee liqueur; set aside.

Slice each loaf of pound cake into 12 slices.  Line bottom of 9-inch square pan with 8 slices of pound cake.

Using a pastry brush, brush 1/4 cup of the coffee mixture over pound cake slices.

Add one third of cheese mixture over pound cake, spreading to cover.  Top with another layer of pound cakes slices, coffee mixture and cheese mixture.  Repeat for third layer.  

Dust with cocoa powder.  Cover and refrigerate at least 2 hours before serving.

*Test Kitchen Tip: For decorated top, place remaining third of cheese mixture into resealable plastic bag, cut corner and pipe mixture over pound cake.
