Prepare 2 shots of espresso and set them aside to cool slightly.
In a small saucepan, combine the heavy cream, dark chocolate (chopped into small pieces), and granulated sugar over low heat. Stir continuously until the chocolate is fully melted and the mixture is smooth. Remove from heat and let it cool for 5 minutes.
In a blender, add the cooled espresso, the chocolate cream mixture, pitted cherries, vanilla extract, and ice cubes. Blend until smooth and creamy.
Pour the mixture evenly into two serving glasses.
Top each glass with whipped cream and garnish with chocolate shavings and a maraschino cherry.
Serve immediately with a straw and a spoon for a luxurious iced coffee dessert experience.
