How to Make Reduced Fat Chocolate Cheesecake

  1. Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C).
  2. Grease a 9-inch springform pan. Combine 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs and ¼ cup granulated sugar. Sprinkle evenly over the bottom of the prepared pan.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, beat 16 ounces (2 packages) of cream cheese until smooth and fluffy.
  4. Gradually mix in ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder and ¼ cup all-purpose flour until well combined.
  5. Add 1 cup granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 2 large eggs. Beat until smooth and creamy. Gently fold in 1 cup of low-fat sour cream.
  6. Pour batter into the prepared pan. Bake for 40-50 minutes, or until the cheesecake is set around the edges but still slightly jiggly in the center.
  7. Let the cheesecake cool completely in the oven with the door slightly ajar. Once cooled, remove from the oven and refrigerate for at least 3 hours before serving. For best results, chill overnight.
