I went through a phase when I couldn't get enough cheesecake or coffee, so I created this rich dessert. Its brownie-like crust and creamy mocha layer really hit the spot. It's excellent for get-togethers because it can be made in advance.

We've made this recipe several times and it's always been a HUGE hit wherever we take it. It may be made in a 9" pan, but be careful not to use all the crust recipe or it will be too thick at that size. Consider using decaf if it's going to be eaten in the evening! Though we enjoy the coffee flavor a lot, be aware that it will completely overpower the chocolate flavor if you use the larger number of tablespoons recommended for the coffee granules.
