    Recipe



    POINTS per serving - 7
    Serves - 12

    Preheat oven to 325�F. Coat a 9-inch spring form pan with nonstick cooking spray.

    Combine graham cracker crumbs, margarine and water in a small bowl; firmly press mixture into bottom of prepared spring form pan. Bake for 10 minutes; cool on a wire rack.

    Increase oven temperature to 450�F.

    Place sugar, flour and cheeses in a large bowl; beat at medium speed until smooth. Add eggs and egg whites, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add cocoa powder and almond extract and mix to combine.

    Pour cheese mixture into prepared crust; bake for 10 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 250�F (120�C), but don�t remove the cheesecake from the oven. Bake until almost set, an additional hour.

    Remove from oven and cool to room temperature. Cover and chill in the refrigerator at least 8 hours. Before serving, drizzle with heated fudge topping. Serve each slice topped with a tablespoon whipped topping.

    Chef Tips - We renovated Chocolate Cheesecake with Fudge Topping by:

    Omitting the sugar from the crust - you`ll get plenty of sweetness from the graham crackers. And using reduced-calorie margarine and water to help form the crust, rather than butter.

    Replacing regular cream cheese with a combination of reduced-fat and fat-free cream cheeses.

    Using egg whites instead of whole eggs.

    Replacing chocolate, which is loaded with fat, with fat-free hot fudge topping and unsweetened cocoa powder and almond extract.
