10 sheets frozen phyllo dough, thawed
4 tbsp butter, melted
1/2 cup sugar
2 tsp instant coffee powder or granules
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 tbsp boiling water
1 (8 oz) pkg cream cheese, softened
1 cup grated semi-sweet chocolate (about 3 squares)
2 cups sweetened whipped cream or thawed frozen whipped topping
Confectioners sugar

Preheat oven to 350. Unfold dough. Remove 1 dough sheet leaving remaining dough covered with plastic wrap. Brush with margarine and sprinkle with about 2 teaspoons sugar. Repeat with 4 more sheets, stacking each on top of the previous sheet. Cut stack into 20 (3-inch) squares. Repeat with remaining 5 sheets, margarine and sugar, making another stack and cutting into squares. Place squares 1 inch apart on baking sheets. Bake for 8 minutes or until golden. Remove from baking sheets and cool on wire rack.

Mix remaining 3 tablespoons sugar, instant coffee powder, vanilla and water until sugar dissolves. Gradually stir sugar mixture into cream cheese. Spread about 2 tbsp cream cheese mixture onto each of 10 squares. Sprinkle each with about 2 teaspoons chocolate. Set aside.

Spread about 1 tbsp whipped cream onto each of 20 squares. Place cream cheese squares onto 10 whipped cream squares. Top with remaining whipped cream squares. Sprinkle with remaining chocolate. Top with remaining squares and sprinkle with confectioners sugar. Serves 10.
