How to Make Low Fat Chocolate Chip Cheesecake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Combine 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs and ¼ cup (50g) melted unsalted butter. Mix until evenly moistened.
  3. Press crumb mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides (about ¾ inch) of an 8-inch springform pan.
  4. In a food processor or large bowl, beat together 16 ounces (450g) cream cheese (softened), ½ cup (120ml) milk (skim or low-fat), 2 large egg whites, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until completely smooth and creamy.
  5. Gently fold in ¼ cup (50g) semi-sweet chocolate chips.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared crust.
  7. Sprinkle the remaining ¼ cup (50g) semi-sweet chocolate chips evenly over the top.
  8. Place the springform pan in a larger roasting pan. Pour enough hot water into the roasting pan to come halfway up the sides of the springform pan (this creates a water bath for even baking).
  9. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the center is just set but still slightly jiggly. The edges should be set.
  10. Remove from the oven and let cool completely on a wire rack.
  11. Once completely cool, refrigerate for at least 2 ½ hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the cheesecake to set completely.
  12. Carefully run a thin knife around the edges of the cheesecake to loosen it from the pan.
  13. Remove the sides of the springform pan.
  14. Slice and serve. Store leftovers, covered, in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
