Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Butter a 9×13 pan.
Crust:
Cream the butter and sugar together; blend in the flour and salt until the mixture is crumbly. Pat into the prepared pan, pressing down slightly for an even layer.
Bake 15 minutes.
Filling:
Cream together the cream cheese and sugar, making sure that the ingredients are at true room temperature to avoid lumps.
Beat in the Irish Cream liqueur, then the eggs, one at a time.
Blend in the instant espresso, cocoa powder, vanilla, and flour.
Turn the batter out onto the crust; smooth out evenly.
Bake for 20-25 minutes or just until the cheesecake is set.
Cool before slicing.
Serve, garnished with whipped cream and shaved chocolate.
