Recipe
Preheat oven to 350 deg. F.

Place crumbs, butter, nuts and sugar in small bowl and toss them
together with a fork. Press this mixture onto the bottom of a 9-inch
springform pan. Bake about 10 minutes. Let cool.
Filling:
Reduce oven to 300 deg. f. Place roasting pan or baking dish
with hot water on lowest rack in the oven to create moisture. Melt
the chocolate in the coffee in the top of a double boiler placed over
simmering water. Cream the cream cheese, sugar, vanilla and salt in
mixing bowl with an electric mixer on medium speed till light and
fluffy, about two minutes. Add eggs and beat mixture on medium-high
till smooth, about 30 seconds. Scrape the bowl. Then beat for an
additional 30 seconds. Add the chocolate mixture to the egg mixture
and beat on medium speed for 15 seconds. Scrape the bowl and then mix
until the batter is smooth and uniform in color, about 10 more
seconds. Pour the filling over the crust.
Bake the cake on the center oven rack until the top is set and a
tester inserted in the center comes out dry, about 1 hour and 25
minutes. Allow the cake to cool completely on a wire rack, then
refrigerate the cake overnight.
