I'm glad I finally tried this...it's so good! I realized too late that I didn't have the right sized springform pan, so I used an extra-large pie plate. It worked fine. Also, I used one block of light cream cheese with two blocks of regular, and it still tasted very rich and decadent. The coffee flavor is fairly strong - I think it was perfect. Thanks so much for sharing such a delicious recipe!!
