Stir the coffee, wine and cheese in the pan. Cook and stir with a whisk for 10 minutes. Remove the pan from the double boiler. Let the mixture cool for 10 minutes.
Beat the heavy cream, vanilla extract and confectioners’ sugar in a medium bowl with an electric mixer on high speed until stiff peaks form.
