In a medium bowl beat the cold whipping cream until soft peaks appear. Slowly drizzle in the cold coffee while you continue beating. Beat until thickened. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for about an hour. Gently stir together before serving in small glasses (a little bigger than an espresso cup), sprinkle with cocoa or chocolate flakes if desired.
