For filling, in a large mixing bowl, beat cream cheese with a mixer on medium until light and fluffy, about 30 seconds. Beat in condensed milk, vanilla and salt until combined. Stir in eggs. Divide filling in half. Stir melted chocolate and espresso powder into half of the batter. Pour chocolate filling into crust-lined pan. Stir raspberry mixture into remaining filling. Spoon raspberry filling over chocolate filling. Place springform pan in a shallow baking pan.
