Chocolate Amaretto Cheesecake
3 whole chocolate graham crackers — nabisco, 6 (2 1/2″ x 2 1/2″)
made into crumbs
2 1/3 cups part-skim ricotta cheese
4 ounces nonfat cream cheese
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 egg
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons amaretto liqueur
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoons semisweet chocolate chips
Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F. Spray an 8″ springform pan with nonstick cooking spray. Sprinkle the cracker crumbs evenly over the bottom of the pan.
In a blender or food processor, puree the ricotta and cream cheeses, the sugar, cocoa, egg, flour, liqueur and vanilla; stir in the chocolate chips.
Pour the cheese mixture over the crumbs.
Bake until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean, about 1 1/2 hours. Cool completely on a rack. Refrigerate, covered, until chilled, at least 3 hours.
