Chocolate Marbled Cheesecake (136), 224

This is a variation of the Lemon Cheesecake yet is totally different in character. It is attractive with large chocolate swirls on top. The almond extract adds a little dimension to the cheesecake and should not be overlooked. As with all cheesecakes, ingredients should be at room temperature to avoid small lumps.

1/4 cup vanilla or chocolate wafer crumbs

1 pound low-fat cream cheese, at room temperature
2 cups low-fat sour cream
3/4 cup sugar
2 eggs
2 egg whites
2 teaspoons vanilla
1 teaspoon almond extract

2 tablespoons sifted cocoa

In a 10-inch springform pan sprinkle cookie crumbs evenly. Beat together the next 7 ingredients until nicely blended. Pour 1/2 the cream cheese mixture over the crumbs. Stir the cocoa into the remaining cream cheese mixture until blended. Drop the chocolate filling by large dollops on top and with a knife swirl it around to marbleize. Bake at 350-degrees for 45 minutes. Allow to cool in pan and then refrigerate for several hours until firm, or overnight. Cut into wedges to serve. Serves 16.

Note: -To facilitate removing cheesecake from the pan, line the springform pan with parchment paper.
