Ingredients

2 cups crushed vanilla wafer cookies (about 60 cookies)
1/3 cup butter or margarine, melted
2 tablespoons whipping cream
2 tablespoon instant espresso coffee granules
3 packages (8 oz each) cream cheese, softened
3/4 cup sugar
3 eggs
1 oz bittersweet baking chocolate, grated
Chocolate-covered espresso beans, if desired

Heat oven to 350°F. Line 13x9-inch pan with foil; spray with cooking spray. In small bowl, mix crushed cookies and melted butter with fork. Press mixture in bottom of pan. Refrigerate while continuing with recipe.
In small bowl, mix whipping cream and coffee granules with fork until coffee is dissolved; set aside.
In large bowl, beat cream cheese with electric mixer on medium speed 2 to 3 minutes, scraping bowl occasionally, until smooth and creamy.

Using rubber spatula, spread cream cheese filling over crust. Bake 25 to 35 minutes or until center is set.
