How to Make Lower Fat Chocolate Cheesecake

  1. Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C).
  2. Spray a 9-inch springform pan with cooking spray.
  3. In a medium bowl, combine 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs and ¼ cup granulated sugar. Mix well.
  4. Evenly press the crumb mixture into the bottom of the prepared springform pan.
  5. In a large mixing bowl, beat 16 ounces of cream cheese until smooth and fluffy.
  6. Add ¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder and 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour to the cream cheese. Mix until combined.
  7. Add 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk, 2 large egg whites, 1 large egg, 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
  8. Pour the batter into the prepared pan.
  9. Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the center is just set. A slight jiggle is okay.
  10. Let the cheesecake cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
  11. Once cooled, cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow it to set completely.
  12. Garnish as desired with chocolate shavings, fresh berries, or whipped cream.
  13. Refrigerate leftovers.
