Ingredients

1 package (9 ounces) chocolate wafer cookies, crushed
1/3 cup butter, melted
FILLING:
4 packages (8 ounces each) cream cheese, softened
1-1/3 cups sugar
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
4 eggs
2 tablespoons instant coffee granules
1 tablespoon hot water
1/4 cup heavy whipping cream
1-1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
TOPPING:
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 can (14 ounces) whole-berry cranberry sauce
3/4 cup heavy whipping cream
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar

Directions

Combine cookie crumbs and butter; press onto the bottom and about 2 in. up the sides of a greased 9-in. springform pan; set aside. In a large bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth. Combine sugar and flour; add to cream cheese and mix well. Add eggs; beat on low speed just until combined.
In a small bowl, dissolve coffee in water; add cream and cinnamon. Stir into the cream cheese mixture just until blended. Pour over crust. Place pan on a baking sheet.
Bake at 350° for 50-55 minutes or until center is almost set. Cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes. Carefully run a knife around edge of pan to loosen; cool 1 hour longer.
In a large saucepan, bring cornstarch and cranberry sauce to a boil. Cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Cool.
In a small bowl, beat cream and vanilla until soft peaks form. Gradually add confectioners' sugar, beating until stiff peaks form. Spread over the cheesecake. Refrigerate for 20 minutes or until set.
Carefully spread 1 cup of cranberry mixture to within 1 in. of edge; cover and refrigerate remaining cranberry mixture. Refrigerate cheesecake overnight. Serve with the remaining cranberry mixture. Yield: 12-14 servings.

It's a must have esp. at the holidays! I've made this with wafer cookies, oreo crumbs (our favorite) and chocolate graham cracker crumbs - all with rave reviews! Thanks for this recipe!

Have made this recipe at least 8 times and always receive positive compliments. The last time I made the crust with vanilla wafer cookies, making it less rich (didn't have chocolate wafer cookies in pantry at the time)
