Reserve 8 whole wafers for garnish. Cut the remaining wafers into 2-inch-long pieces.

Beat the egg yolks and granulated sugar in the top pan of a double boiler over hot water with a whisk for 5 minutes or until the mixture is thickened. 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. Divide the espresso cream among 8 glasses. Top each with about 1/2 cup wafer pieces. Divide the whipped cream and the chocolate among the glasses. Garnish each with 1 whole wafer.

Notes: Sometimes I put a mini candy cane hooked on the glass I try to use all different glasses I usually will try to go to yard sales of thrift shops & pick up a few mismatched clear glasses depending on the glasses you use you can spread this out to 10 or condense it to 6. I have also put this in a clear bowl and just used chocolate shaving on the top with broken bits of candy cane.
