3/4 cup boiling water
2 tablespoons sugar
2 1/2 teaspoons instant espresso powder or instant coffee powder
2 1/4 (about) 3.5-ounce packages Champagne biscuits (ladyfinger-style cookies)
1 ounce bittersweet (not unsweetened) or semisweet chocolate, grated

Dip more biscuits into espresso mixture and arrange atop sliced strawberries in dish, covering completely and trimming to fit. Spread remaining cream cheese mixture over. Sprinkle with grated chocolate. Arrange halved strawberries around edge of pan. Cover and refrigerate until set, at least 4 hours. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead.) Cut into squares and serve.
