Prep Time: Cook Time: Total Time:
Crust:
1 9-oz pkg chocolate wafer cookies
6 tbsp (3/4 stick) unsalted butter, melted, cooled
Filling:
2 tbsp instant espresso powder
1 tbsp water
3 8-oz pkg cream cheese, room temperature
1 cup sugar
3 large eggs
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, melted, cooled
1 tbsp finely ground coffee
6 oz bittersweet (not unsweetened) or semisweet chocolate, chopped
1/4 cup whipping cream
For crust: Position rack in center of oven and preheat to 400. Grind cookies in processor. Add butter and process using on/off turns until crumbs are moist. Press crumbs on bottom and 1 1/2 inches up sides of 9-inch-diameter springform pan with 2 3/4-inch-high sides. Wrap outside of pan with aluminum foil.

Drop 5 tbsp melted chocolate mixture by tbsp around edge of filling, spacing evenly. Use small sharp knife to swirl chocolate into filling. Carefully pour remaining cheese filling over. Drop remaining chocolate mixture by tbsp into center 6 inches of filling, spacing evenly. Swirl mixtures together using tip of knife.
