List of Ingredients




1 8oz package of low fat cream cheese
1/2 cup of low fat plain yogurt
1/2 cup low fat sour cream
1 cup of low fat cottage cheese or non-fat ricotta cheese
1/2 cup of sugar (more or less depending on your taste)
1 Tbsp vanilla
2 Tbsp flour
1 egg white or 1/4 cup of egg substitute
1/3 cup plus 2T baking cocoa (such as hershey or droste...must be
unsweetened). Depending on how much you love chocolate...you may want
to adjust this to the plus or the minus. Remember cocoa has only 0.5gr.
fat per tablespoon!)


Recipe



In your food processor, make 1 crumb crust out of 7 fat free cookies, or 6 low fat graham crackers. Then sprinkle crushed crumbs into an 8-inch pan and add nothing else to them.

Preheat oven to 325F.

Pour all above ingredients, except the crust, into a food processor or blender. Blend constantly until all is processed into a very smooth
mixture. There should be no lumps of cottage cheese or cream cheese.
pour this mixture slowly on to the crust as not to disturb the crumb
crust.

Bake for 35-45 minutes on the middle shelf of oven. You may find that due to the way your oven temperature may vary, it takes the cheese
cake 35 minutes and sometimes 40-45 minutes....start checking at 35
minutes as you don't want to over bake it! As it bakes, the cheese cake
will crack around the edges, for this cheese cake, that's normal. At the time you first check the cheesecake, it should be slightly "wiggly" in the center when touched. When it is, then it is DONE!

IMPORTANT: You do NOT want to over bake it...you want it to be wiggly in
the center, not firm like a regular cake. So watch and pull it out when
it is still soft in the center around 35-40 minutes depending on oven
temp. When you remove it from oven, let it cool about 15 minutes and
then take a very sharp knife and go completely around the edge of the
cake so that when it cools it will not pull apart and crack more. Allow
it to cool for about an hour on the counter.....you can then top it with
whatever you healthy heart desires. The cheese cake must then be
refrigerated.
