- Three 8 ounce packages cream cheese, at room temperature
- 8 ounces mascarpone cheese
- 1⅔ cups granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs, at room temperature
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 pinch salt
- 2 teaspoons instant espresso powder
- 1 tablespoon brandy
- 1 ounce grated semi-sweet chocolate

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Butter an 8″ springform pan.

FILLING
- Tightly cover the outside bottom and sides of springform pan with heavy-duty foil.

Reduce speed to medium and beat in sugar, vanilla and salt. Add eggs, one at a time, beating just until blended after each addition. Pour 4 cups of filling over crust in prepared pan, and place in large roasting pan.
