- Combine cookie crumbs and butter; press onto the bottom of a greased 9 inch springform pan. In a small bowl, combine the coffee granules, water and cinnamon; set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese, sugar and flour until smooth. Add eggs; beat on low speed just until combined. Stir in vanilla. Divide batter in half. Stir melted chocolate into one portion; pour over crust. Stir coffee mixture into the remaining batter; spoon over chocolate layer.
