1 (9 ounce) package chocolate wafer cookies, crushed
1/3 cup butter, melted

4 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
1 1/3 cups sugar
1 tablespoon flour
4 eggs
2 tablespoons instant coffee granules
1 tablespoon hot water
1/4 cup whipping cream
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 (16 ounce) can whole berry cranberry sauce

Combine cookie crumbs and butter; press onto the bottom and 2 inches up the sides of a greased 9 inch springform pan; set aside.
In a mixing bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth. Combine sugar and flour; add to cream cheese and mix well. Add eggs; beat on low speed just until combined.
In small bowl, dissolve coffee in water; add cream and cinnamon. Stir into the cream cheese mixture just until blended. Pour over crust. Place pan on a baking sheet. Bake at 350 for 50-55 minutes or until center is almost set. Cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes. Carefully run a knife around edge of pan to loosen; cool 1 hour longer.
In a large saucepan, bring cornstarch and cranberry sauce to a boil. Cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Cool. In a small mixing bowl, beat cream and vanilla until soft peaks form. Gradually add confectioners sugar, beating until stiff peaks form. Spread over the cheesecake. Refrigerate 20 minutes or until set.
Carefully spread 1 cup of cranberry mixture to within 1 inch of edge; cover and refrigerate remaining cranberry mixture. Refrigerate cheesecake overnight. Just before serving, remove sides of pan. Serve with the remaining cranberry mixture.
