  crumbs (about 50 cookies)   2 large eggs
3 tablespoons butter or stick margarine, 2 large egg whites
  melted 2 tablespoons instant espresso or 1/3 cup

Cooking spray 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup sugar ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour ½ cups fat-free hot fudge topping, divided

   Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Combine first three ingredients in a small bowl; firmly press mixture into bottom of a 9-inch springform pan coated with cooking spray. Bake at 325 degrees for 10 minutes; cool on a wire rack. Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Place sugar, flour and cheeses in a large bowl; beat at medium speed of a mixer until smooth. Add eggs and egg whites, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add espresso, vanilla and cinnamon; beat well.
   Pour cheese mixture into prepared crust; spoon four mounds of fudge topping (two tablespoons each) onto cheese mixture; swirl mixtures together, using a knife. Bake at 450 degrees for 10 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 250 degrees (do not remove cheesecake from oven); bake an additional 1 hour or until almost set. Remove cheesecake from oven and cool to room temperature. Cover and chill at least 8 hours.
   Drizzle one tablespoon fudge topping onto each of 16 plates; top each with one cheesecake wedge.
