This is a wonderful cheesecake - it tastes sinful but it is very light. I made it for a brunch and nobody could believe it was under 300 calories! It's a Rose Reisman recipe (another one of her winning recipes!)

Time 1h20m

Yield 1 cake, 16 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 1/4 cups chocolate wafer crumbs
3 tablespoons water
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
2 cups smooth 5% fat ricotta cheese
3/4 cup low-fat yogurt
4 ounces light cream cheese
1 large egg
1 large egg white
2 tablespoons Baileys Irish Cream or 2 tablespoons other coffee liqueur
2 teaspoons vanilla
1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 1/4 cups low-fat sour cream
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 tablespoon Baileys Irish Cream

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F Spray a 9-inch springform pan with vegetable spray.
  • Make crust: in a bowl, stir together wafer crumbs, water and oil until mixed. Pat mixture onto the bottom and side of the prepared pan.
  • Make filling: in a food processor, combine ricotta cheese, yogurt, cream cheese, egg, egg white, liqueur,vanilla, sugar and flour; purée until smooth. Pour the mixture into the prepared crust.
  • Place a pan of hot water on the bottom rack of the over. Bake the cheesecake in the centre of the oven for 50 minutes. The cake will still be quite loose.
  • Make topping: in a bowl, stir together sour cream, sugar and liqueur. Carefully pour a thin stream of this mixture over top of the hot cheesecake, smoothing it with a knife. Return the cake to the oven and bake for 10 minutes. The topping will be loose and will set as the cake cools.
  • Run a butter knife around the edge of the cake. Let it cool on a wire rack until it is room temperature. Chill.
