Beat the single cream until stiff. Add in the coffee liqueur, if desired. Fold half of the single cream in the gelatinising coffee cream. Place a cake ring around the cake and divide evenly the coffee cream on top. Cool for 1 hour.

Remove the cake ring and garnish the cake with the remaining whipped cream and chocolate shavings.
