1 ½ cups chocolate wafer cookie crumbs
1/3 cup cold coffee
1 tbsp cornstarch
1 ½ tbsp cold water

3 tablespoons instant espresso powder

8 oz low-fat cream cheese, softened
¼ cup Splenda granular
¼ cup brown sugar
4 oz semisweet chocolate, melted
4 oz bittersweet chocolate (65% or higher), melted

Preheat the oven to 400F. Mix the crumbs and coffee until thoroughly moist.
