To Prepare Filling:
In small saucepan, mix gelatin with cold water; let stand 1 minute to soften. Cook over medium heat until gelatin completely dissolves, stirring frequently. Remove from heat.
In large bowl, with mixer at low speed, beat 1 package cream cheese, 3/4 cup confectioners sugar, cocoa, vanilla and 2 tablespoons gelatin mixture until well blended. Add 1 1/4 cups whipped topping; continue mixing until blended. Spoon mixture over crust in pan; return to freezer while preparing second layer.
In same bowl, beat remaining cream cheese until fluffy; gradually add remaining confectioners sugar, cold coffee and remaining gelatin mixture until well blended. Add 1 1/4 cups whipped topping; continue mixing until blended. Remove pan from freezer; spoon mixture carefully over chocolate layer, spreading evenly. Cover and refrigerate at least 3 hours or until firm.
To serve, spread remaining whipped topping over cake. Carefully remove cheesecake from pan. Sprinkle with chocolate-covered coffee beans or chocolate chips, if desired.
