In a small saucepan, combine the egg yolks and sugar and gradually stir in
the light cream. cook the mixture over medium heat, stirring, until it coats
a metal spoon. Remove from the heat and stir in the softened gelatin.

Beat the cream cheese until very smooth and creamy, then add the vanilla and
continue to beat until very smooth and creamy. Add the gelatin mixture to the
cheese mixture and beat until smooth.

Chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes or until the mixture is set.

In separate small mixing bowls, whip the heavy cream and beat the egg whites
until stiff, then fold both into the cream cheese mixture.

In a small saucepan, heat the instant coffee dissolved in water, and the
coffee liquer, stirring until smooth. Add the coffee mixture to the cheese
mixture and beat until very smooth and creamy.

Pour into the chilled springform pan and refrigerate for 3 hours, or until
cake is set and firm. Carefully remove the sides of the springform pan,
transfer cake to a serving dish, and serve.
