Just like this.

Beat the whipping cream in a separate bowl until soft peaks form.
The coffee and gelatin should be cool now. Add the mixture little by little (beating on medium speed ) over the cream cheese mixture. When well combined.

Fold in the whipped cream.
The cappuccino cream is ready.
Spoon into crust, and chill for 8 hours or over night.
For the coffee truffles.

In a small saucepan combine the first three ingredients. Stir over the lowest heat until the chocolate is almost melted. Remove and stir until smooth.
When the chocolate is smooth add the liqueur, and stir. Chill for 2 hours. Roll into balls using about 1 tsp.
Place the coffee truffles in the refrigerator for about 1 hour.
Melt the white chocolate on the lowest heat, stir until smooth. Dip each ball in the chocolate and swirl around if you like an interesting look. Arrange on a baking sheet line with wax paper, and refrigerate for 1 hour or until set.
Use your imagination for decorating the cake.
