2 cups coffee and cream-filled chocolate sandwich cookie crumbs, about 20 cookies (we tested with oreos) |
2 tablespoons butter or margarine, melted |
4 (8-ounce) packages cream cheese, softened |
1 1/2 cups sugar |
4 large eggs |
2 tablespoons instant coffee granules |

1. Stir together cookie crumbs and butter; press firmly into bottom of a 10 springform pan.
2. Bake at 325° for 12 minutes. Cool on a wire rack.
3. Meanwhile, beat cream cheese at medium speed with an electric mixer until creamy; gradually add sugar, beating well. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating until blended after each addition. Stir coffee, liqueur, and vanilla into batter.
4. Reserve 2 1/2 cups batter; pour remaining batter into crust.
