Source of Recipe

Nick Grippo


List of Ingredients

1/2 cup crushed chocolate wafers (7)
1 cup low fat cottage cheese
1 8-ounce package light cream cheese
1 cup sugar
1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
3 tablespoons raspberry liqueur
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 cup egg substitute
3 tablespoons miniature semisweet chocolate pieces
raspberries or other fresh fruit for garnish


Recipe

1. Preheat oven to 300 degrees F. Sprinkle wafer crumbs evenly in the bottom of an 8-inch springform pan.

2. In a food processor or blender, process cottage cheese until smooth. Add cream cheese, sugar, cocoa powder, liqueur and vanilla and process until combined. (Mixture will be thick; scrape the sides of the container, if necessary).

3. Transfer to a large bowl and stir in egg substitute and chocolate.

4. Pour into the prepared pan and bake 45 to 50 minutes or until cheesecake appears nearly set when gently shaken. Cool on a wire rack for at least 10 minutes to prevent the cheesecake form cracking. Loosen sides of pan. Cool another 30 minutes and remove sides of pan. Cool completely, then cover and chill for several hours or overnight.

5. Garnish with raspberries or other fruit.
