Chocolate Cheesecake Recipe for anyone interested!

You Will Need:

22 small reduced-fat cinnamon honey graham crackers, squares, 11 full-size crackers
2 tbsp reduced-calorie margarine
2 cup(s) fat-free cottage cheese
8 oz fat-free cream cheese
1 cup(s) sugar
1/4 cup(s) all-purpose flour
2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa, dissolved in 1/4 cup boiling water
4 large egg white(s)
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp powdered sugar


Instructions:

* Preheat oven to 325°F. Spray an 8 inch springform pan with nonstick cooking spray. In a food processor, crush graham crackers; pulse in margarine. Transfer to the pan, pressing firmly over bottom and half way up the sides. Refrigerate until chilled, about 15 minutes.

* To prepare filling, in the food processor, puree cottage cheese and cream cheese; blend in granulated sugar, flour, dissolved cocoa, egg whites and vanilla. Pour into crust; set pan on baking sheet. Bake until set, about 1 hour, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Turn off the oven, prop the door open with a wooden spoon, and let the cheesecake cool in oven for 1 hour; cool completely on a rack.

* Refrigerate in pan; just before serving, un-mold from pan and sprinkle with confectioner's sugar.


Don't eat it while it's still warm...I tried and it was not good at all! But, when it's cold, it's fantastic! Only 3 points a slice, 12 slices in all.

ENJOY!! =)
