Number Of Ingredients 18

Crust
2 tablespoon slivered blanched almonds
Vegetable oil cooking spray
6 chocolate wafers
Filling
15 ounces (1 3/4 cups) part-skim ricotta
8 ounces lowfat cream cheese, room temperature
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup lowfat sour cream
1 large whole egg
2 egg whites
1/4 teaspoon almond extract (or to taste)
2 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoon amaretto (if desired)
3 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 teaspoon instant-espresso powder
3 tablespoon bittersweet chocolate chips

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350°. Toast almonds on a small baking sheet for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from oven; reduce heat to 325°. Coat an 8-inch springform pan with cooking spray. Wrap outside of pan in foil to prevent seepage. Process chocolate wafers and almonds in a food processor until fine crumbs. Sprinkle 2 to 3 tablespoon crumbs onto bottom of pan (just enough to coat bottom lightly). Shake pan to distribute evenly. Reserve remaining crumbs.
  • Filling:
  • Purée ricotta in a food processor until smooth, about 1 minute. Add cream cheese, sugar, sour cream, egg, egg whites, almond extract, flour and salt; puree until smooth. Whisk amaretto, if desired (or same amount of hot water), 2 tablespoon hot water, cocoa powder and espresso powder in a bowl until well combined. Stir in chocolate chips. Stir 1 cup plain filling into chocolate mixture. Set aside. Pour remaining plain filling into prepared pan. Drizzle chocolate filling in a circular pattern over plain filling. Using a knife, make circular strokes to create swirls in the plain filling. Add 1 inch hot water to a shallow baking pan; place springform pan in baking pan. Bake until cheesecake is firm around the edge and slightly soft in the center, 45 to 55 minutes. Run a knife around inside of pan. Remove foil; let cool on a rack. Chill 6 hours or overnight before removing sides of pan. Press reserved crumbs onto side of cheesecake.

The chocolate marble cheesecake was a bit too sweet for my taste, but my family loved it.

This was my first time making a cheesecake and it turned out great! The instructions were easy to follow and the cheesecake was delicious.

I've made this cheesecake several times now and it always turns out amazing. The crust is flaky and buttery, the cheesecake is creamy and rich, and the chocolate swirl adds a perfect touch of sweetness.

This cheesecake was a hit at my last dinner party! The chocolate and cheesecake flavors were perfectly balanced, and the marbling effect was beautiful. I will definitely be making this again.
