Mini Mocha Cheesecakes image

Don't be fooled -- these rich-looking desserts may look like a cheesecake had a baby with a molten chocolate cake, but they're much lower in fat thanks to the nonfat cottage cheese taking the place of cream cheese.

Yield Makes 9

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 cups nonfat cottage cheese
2 large eggs
1 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar
1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 tablespoon plus 1 1/2 teaspoons all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons instant espresso powder
1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
9 chocolate wafer cookies
Whipped cream (optional), for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 275 degrees. Line 9 standard muffin cups with cupcake liners. In a food processor, combine cottage cheese, eggs, confectioners' sugar, cocoa powder, flour, espresso powder, and vanilla. Process until smooth, 4 minutes, scraping down sides as needed. Divide mixture among cups and place 1 cookie on top of each. Bake until fillings are set and cookies soften, 25 to 30 minutes. Let cool to room temperature in pan on a wire rack, then refrigerate at least 1 1/2 hours (or, covered, up to 3 days). To serve, invert cheesecakes onto plates and peel off liners. Top with a dollop of whipped cream, if desired.

I'm not a huge coffee fan, but I still enjoyed these cheesecakes. The coffee flavor was not overpowering, and the chocolate flavor was very prominent. I would definitely make these again.

The crust on these cheesecakes was a little too hard for my liking. I think I would try using a different graham cracker crust next time.

These cheesecakes were a bit too sweet for my taste, but I think that's just a personal preference. I would recommend using less sugar in the filling if you prefer a less sweet cheesecake.

I'm not usually a fan of coffee-flavored desserts, but these cheesecakes changed my mind. The coffee flavor was subtle and perfectly balanced by the sweetness of the chocolate. I loved the crunchy cookie crust too.
