[waccoon]

It has less than 200 calories and there are 6 grams of fat total. Awesome for dieters.

1/2 cup crushed chocolate wafers
1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
3 tablespoons creme de menthe liqueur (<- Shop around for it, or ask the manager of the supermarket)
1 teaspoon vanilla (<- Essential)
1/2 cup egg substitute (<- egg yolks have way too much cholesterol)
1 cup low-fat cottage cheese
1 8-ounce package reduced-fat cream cheese
1 cup sugar (<- or splenda)
3 tablespoons miniature semisweet chocolate pieces

1. Sprinkle wafer crumbs evenly in the bottom of a lightly greased 8-inch springform pan, then set it aside.
2. In a food processor bowl, process cottage cheese until smooth. Add cream cheese, sugar, cocoa powder, liqueur, and vanilla. Cover and process until combined. (The mixture will be thick, so scrape the sides of the bowl as necessary.) Transfer to a large mixing bowl.
3. Stir in egg product and chocolate.
4. Pour into prepared pan.
5. Bake in a 300 degree oven for 35 to 40 minutes or until cheesecake appears nearly set when shaken.
6. Cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes. Loosen sides of pan.
7. Cool for half an hour more; remove sides of pan. Cool completely.
8. Cover then chill several hours or overnight.


Garnish with strawberries or other fruit for an amazing cheesecake .
