Title: Low-Fat Chocolate Raspberry Cheesecake

Categories: Desserts, Low-fat, Must-try, Posted-mm, Cheesecakes

Yield: 1 Servings

24 Plain chocolate wafer

Cookies (half of a 9 ounce

Box)

Nonfat cooking spray

2 (8 ounce) packages fat-free

Cream cheese

1 c Sugar

1 c Cocoa

1 ts Pure vanilla extract

3 tb Sugar-free seedless black

Raspberry preserves

1/2 c Fat free egg substitutes

1 (16 ounce) container

Fat-free sour cream

1/4 ts Salt

For Fruit Topping:

1 (10 ounce) box sweetened frozen raspberries, thawed

2 Tablespoons cornstarch

In a food processor or blender, grind the plain

chocolate wafers into fine crumbs. Generously coat a

8.1/2 inch or 9 inch springform pan with nonstick

cooking spray. Pour the crumbs into the pan and tilt

to coat the bottom and the sides evenly. Set aside.

Preheat oven to 350^F. With an electric mixer, beat

the fat-free cream cheese until soft. Add the sugar,

cocoa, vanilla extract and raspberry preserves and

continue beating until the ingredients are

incorporated. Add the egg substitutes, fat free sour

cream and salt and continue beating until no lumps

remain and mixture is smooth and liquid. You may have

to beat the mixture for several minutes to reach this

consistency.

Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Place in oven

and immediately reduce oven temperature to 300

degrees. Bake for one hour, or until center is set and

firm to the touch. Turn off oven and allow cheesecake

to stay in cooling oven for one hour longer. Remove

and cool completely. Refrigerate overnight before

serving.

To make the raspberry sauce, puree the raspberries in

a food processor or blender. Strain the pulp through a

tea strainer, pressing to remove all the seeds.

Discard seeds. Place the cornstarch in a saucepan and

stir in the raspberry juice. Bring to a boil, stirring

constantly until thickened. Remove from heat

immediately to prevent lumps from forming. Cool and

chill. Serve one tablespoon of sauce on top of each

slice of cheesecake.

Cake can also be frozen for two to three weeks before

serving. To serve, thaw for 2 days in the

refrigerator, then allow to come to room temperature

before slicing.
