Why I Love This Recipe
"Chocolate and cheesecake go so well together. If you haven't tried this combo yet, hurry and bake up a pan!"
Ingredients You'll Need
Nonstick cooking spray
8 chocolate wafer cookies
1 bar (8 ounces) reduced-fat cream cheese
1 cup reduced-fat sour cream
1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
2 tablespoons cornstarch
3/4 cup sugar
1 large whole egg plus 1 large egg white

Preheat oven to 325°.
Coat an 8-inch square baking pan with cooking spray.
Line with two crisscrossed pieces of parchment or wax paper, spraying between sheets.

Gently press crumbs into bottom of prepared pan (do not rinse processor bowl).
Blend cream cheese and sour cream in food processor until smooth, scraping down sides of bowl as needed.
