Date: Wed, 15 May 96 09:48:45 -0700 From: Jane Colman <jane@netcom.com> A few weeks ago Kim asked for a recipe for fatfree chocolate cheesecake, and I finally remembered to look one up. It's from the book Not Just Cheesecake!, which is a collection of recipes using yogurt cheese. I have not made the particular recipe I am posting, but I have used other cheesecake recipes from the book, with great success, and the only difference is in the flavorings. This one is for a chocolate mint cheesecake (there isn't a plain chocolate cheesecake recipe), but it would be easy enough to substitute vanilla or a bit of coffee liqueur for the creme de menthe and mint extract (or almond extract, or an orange liqueur, whatever flavors you like best with chocolate). Drain the yogurt for 24 hours to make yogurt cheese (using whatever method you like; my favorite is in a paper coffee filter). Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Lightly grease an 8-inch pie or 7-inch springform pan. (They omit the crust, but you can use any crumb crust if you want one.) Place yogurt cheese in a meduium-size bowl. Add sugar, cornstarch, cocoa, creme de menthe, and mint extract, stirring gently with a fork or wire whisk until well blended. Stir in the eggs. Pour into prepared pan and smooth the top with a spatula. Bake until center is set: 25-30 minutes for a pie pan, or 55-60 minutes for a springform. Cool slightly on a wire rack. Refrigerate until chilled. Serves 8. FATFREE DIGEST V96 #135 From the Fatfree Vegetarian recipe list. Downloaded from Glen's MM Recipe Archive, http://www.erols.com/hosey.
