Using a serrated knife, cut pound cake into 10 equal slices and set aside.
Mix cream cheese, vanilla and sugar with electric mixer until smooth.
Combine cocoa and grated chocolate in a separate bowl and set aside.
Pour espresso into a shallow dish.
Dip both sides of 4 pieces of pound cake into the espresso, then place in bottom of 8" loaf pan. Break up pieces, if necessary, in order to coat bottom of pan.
Gently spread 1/3 of cream cheese mixture over cake layer. Sprinkle with 1/3 cocoa mixture. Repeat procedure with remaining slices, cream cheese mixture and cocoa mixture to make 3 layers.
Refrigerate 2 hours, then cut into 10 pieces and serve.

A 10-ounce prepared pound cake is the smaller size.
This is a low phosphorus version of traditional tiramisu.
To reduce carbohydrates and fat, use sugar substitute instead of sugar and replace regular cream cheese with low-fat cream cheese. You can also adjust to a smaller portion size.
