In a double boiler, melt the bittersweet chocolate with water, vanilla, and dark rum until smooth and velvety.
In a separate bowl, beat the egg yolks until they become light and fluffy. Gradually add 1/3 cup of sugar, one tablespoon at a time, ensuring thorough mixing after each addition, until the yolks transform into a thick and lemon-colored consistency.
Blend the melted chocolate mixture into the egg yolk mixture until well incorporated.
In another clean bowl, beat the egg whites with salt until they form stiff, glossy peaks.
Gently fold the chocolate mixture into the beaten egg whites until fully combined.
Pour the batter into the prepared pie plate and bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for approximately 25 minutes, or until the mixture is puffed and firm to the touch. Be careful not to overbake.
Once baked, allow the shell to cool for about an hour. As it cools, the mixture will naturally fall and form a delicate shell for the filling.

Make Filling:

While the shell is cooling, prepare the luscious filling. Start by bringing the unsalted butter and very strong coffee to a gentle boil in a saucepan.
In a food processor, combine the bittersweet chocolate, sugar, and salt, and process until finely ground.
With the food processor running, slowly pour the hot butter-coffee mixture through the feed tube, allowing it to combine with the chocolate mixture.
Add the egg yolks and brandy to the processor and continue processing until the mixture becomes thick and smooth.
Allow the filling to cool to room temperature, ensuring it reaches a spreadable consistency.
Refrigerate approximately 1/2 cup of the filling until it thickens enough to be piped through a pastry tube.
Spread half of the room temperature chocolate mixture evenly over the cooled shell, forming the first layer of the filling.
Gently fold whipped cream into the remaining chocolate mixture until well combined, and spread this mixture over the first layer in the shell.
Using a pastry bag fitted with a star tip, pipe a decorative edge just inside the perimeter of the shell with the chilled chocolate mixture.
Refrigerate the torte, uncovered, until the filling is set, then cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or up to 2 days for optimal flavor development.
For longer storage, the torte can also be frozen for future enjoyment.
