Mix coffee, sugar and brandy together. Remove about half and combine with marscapone. Line a loaf pan with wax paper. Dip a lady finger in the coffee mixture and put it in the pan. Continue dipping and placing until you have a layer of fingers. Put a layer of cheese coffee mixture over the fingers. Layer with shaved chocolate. Continue layering until you have reached the top of the pan. Chill several hours or overnight.

Place the cream in a bowl and add the coffee and vanilla. Begin to whip and when the mixture has begun to thicken slowly add the sugar. Beat until quite stiff.

Put some strips of wax paper on a nice platter which can be removed later. Carefully unmold the cake from the pan onto the wax paper strips.

Frost the cake with the cream mixture, smoothing the sides and top. Grate more chocolate on top of the desert. Chill and serve.
