Chocolate Chip Cheesecake

I love cheesecake, but don't really like the guilt that comes with eating it! I found this Weight Watchers recipe. It was easy to make and really yummy.

Ingredients:

2 spray(s) cooking spray
10 cream-filled chocolate sandwich cookies (Oreos, etc.)
8 1/2 Tbsp. fat-free cream cheese
1 (8 oz.) pkg. low fat cream cheese, tub-style
1 cup sugar
2 Tbsp. all-purpose flour
1 cup fat-free cottage cheese
2 tsp. almond extract, or less, to taste
6 large eggs, whites ONLY
3/4 cup mini chocolate chips, divided

Directions:

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Lightly spray a 9-inch springform pan with cooking spray. Crush cookies and sprinkle evenly over bottom of pan.

In a large bowl, beat together cream cheeses on lowest speed until well-blended.

In a small bowl, combine sugar and flour. Add to cream cheese mixture and beat until smooth.

In a food processor or blender, purée cottage cheese until smooth.

Add cottage cheese and almond extract to cream cheese mixture; beat until smooth. Add egg whites; beat until well-blended. Stir in 1/2 cup chocolate chips.

Pour mixture into prepared pan and sprinkle with remaining chocolate chips.

Bake until cheesecake puffs and center is almost set, about 60 minutes.

Transfer to a wire rack and cool completely. Run a knife around sides of pan to loosen; release pan sides.

Cover and chill overnight. Cut into 12 slices and serve. Yields 1 slice per serving.

WW Points: 6 per serving.

Note: I did not have a springform pan so I used a glass pie pan. It worked just fine.

Servings: 12

Prep Time: 30 Minutes

Cooking Time: 60 Minutes
