Add the coffee, melted chocolate and vanilla and stir gently until evenly blended. Keep at room temperature while making the whipped cream. Beat the cream with an electric mixer until it holds soft peaks. Add confectioners' sugar and continue to beat until stiff peaks form. Gently fold 1/3 of the whipped cream into the chocolate-cheese mixture, then spoon into the crust. Top with remaining whipped cream. Refrigerate for at least one hour or overnight before serving. Sauce: Bring cream, coffee and butter to a simmer in a medium saucepan. Remove from heat and add chocolate chips and let the mixture sit 2 minutes. Add corn syrup and vanilla and whisk until smooth. The sauce will thicken as it cools and is best served slightly warm.
