Cappuccino Cheesecake

I was asked to take a dessert to a dinner party and this turned out great. I used Light Hot Chocolate powder in the crust instead of sugar, 2 packs light cream cheese and 2 regular and fat-free sour cream instead of cream. I forgot to add the flour and the texture was perfect! I didn't have a springform pan and made it in a rectangular glass dish. When it was completely cooled down, I cut it into little squares and arranged it on a serving platter. With a potato peeler I shaved beautiful chocolate curls off a chocolate bar - it looked and tasted stunning!

WOW! DELICIOUS! Thank you! I cut the recipe to 3 servings (I only had one egg in the fridge) and baked it in an 8 inch cake pan for 25 minutes. This made a short 2 inch high cake (I did it by mistake, but the short little thing was cute!). Then I covered the top and sides with a thin layer of chocolate ganache YUM! A trick to free your cake from pans that are not springform is to criss-cross 4 long strips of parchment paper in the pan (both sides of each strip should be hanging over the edges of the pan)and press your crust right on top of them. Follow whatever recipe your using, and cool in the fridge for the time specified. When its time to take it out of the pan, wiggle and shimmy both ends (one with each hand) of each strip. Then hold the ends of two close by strips (two ends in each hand) and lift the cake out (have your serving plate close by!). If you have some extra hands in the kitchen, they can grab the other strips Sounds weird, but it works! Thanks for the great recipe yooper!!

Outstanding cheesecake! I made this for my daughter's birthday, since she is a cappaccino lover. After her first bite she said "Mmmm, Mom, this rivals The Cheesecake Factory's". I used chocolate grahams for the crust and mini chocolate chips. I needed to bake it an extra 5 minutes. It was very smooth and creamy and the top didn't even crack! Thanks, Yooper!

I made only one fourth of this recipe, using a 2 1/2 cup pan with a removable bottom. It came out delicious. My husband and I will fight over it, but I'll get the most because I'm sneakier. I am so glad I didn't make the full recipe. All I need at this stage in life is to eat 1 1/2 pounds of cream cheese by myself.
