Number of Servings:
Ingredients:
- 6 - chocolate wafers finely crushed
- 1 1/2 cups - light process cream cheese product
- 1 cups - sugar
- 1 cups - 1% low-fat cottage cheese
- 6 tablespoons - unsweetened cocoa
- 1/4 cups - all-purpose flour

- 1 tablespoons - vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoons - salt
- 1 - egg
- 2 tablespoons - semi-sweet chocolate mini-morsels
- - 3 squares of semisweet chocolate for making chocolate curls optional
Directions:
Sprinkle chocolate wafer crumbs in bottom of 7-inch springform pan. Set aside.
Position knife blade in food processor bowl; add cream cheese and next 7 ingredients, processing until smooth. Add egg and process just until blended. Fold in chocolate morsels.
Slowly pour mixture over crumbs in pan. Bake at 300° F for 65 to 70 minutes or until cheesecake is set. Let cool in pan on wire rack. Cover and chill at least 8 hours.
Remove sides of pan and transfer cheesecake to a serving platter. Garnish with chocolate curls, if desired.
To Make Chocolate Curls:
