Mocha-Chocolate Cheesecake
- Crust:
- 1 cup packaged chocolate cookie crumbs (such as Oreo)
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 tablespoon butter or stick margarine, melted
- Cooking spray
- Filling:
- 1/2 cup Dutch process cocoa
- 1/3 cup Kahlua (coffee-flavored liqueur)
- 3 (8-ounce) blocks fat-free cream cheese, softened
- 1 (8-ounce) block 1/3-less-fat cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup low-fat sour cream
- 1 1/4 cups sugar
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- 2 large egg whites
- 16 chocolate-coated coffee beans (optional)
- Preheat oven to 325u0b0.
- To prepare the crust, combine the first 3 ingredients in a bowl; toss with a fork until moist. Press mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan coated with cooking spray.
- To prepare filling, combine cocoa and Kahlua, and stir well with a whisk. Beat cheeses and sour cream at high speed of a mixer until smooth. Add 1 1/4 cups sugar, flour, and vanilla; beat well. Add eggs and egg whites, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in cocoa mixture.
- Pour mixture into prepared pan; bake at 325u0b0 for 1 hour and 5 minutes or until almost set. Cheesecake is done when the center barely moves when pan is touched. Remove from oven; run a knife around outside edge. Cool to room temperature. Cover and chill at least 8 hours. Garnish with coffee beans, if desired.
