INSTRUCTIONS

1. Preheat the oven to 325F. Wrap the bottom of a 9-inch spring form with 2 sheets of foil, wrapping the foil tightly around the bottom and up the sides. Place the graham crackers into a food processor and pulse for a few minutes until fine crumbs form. Pour in the melted butter and pulse again to coat the crumbs. Transfer the crumbs into the prepared pan. Use a potato masher or the back of a large spoon to press the crumbs firmly into the bottom of the pan, creating an even crust.
2. Prepare the batter for the first cheesecake layer. Place the softened cream cheese into a mixer bowl and whisk on high speed for 6 to 7 minutes, until the cream cheese is light and fluffy. Add the ricotta cheese, melted chocolate, cocoa powder, vanilla and sugar. In a small ramekin, combine the instant coffee and boiling water, then stir until dissolved. Pour the coffee into the mixer bowl, then whisk all the ingredients together for 3 to 4 minutes, scraping down the sides of the bowl often.
3. Add the eggs last and whisk for about a minute, until well combined. Pour the cheesecake batter over the prepared crust and use a spatula to level the batter. Place the spring form pan onto a larger baking sheet, then add enough water to cover the bottom of the pan. Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour to 1 hour and 15 minutes; the sides should be set and the center just slightly wobbly. Allow the cake to cool completely before making the 2 final layers.
