I didn't get any sort of dessert on Mother's Day, so yesterday I decided to make something rich and chocolately. This was the first time I made this recipe, and it was fantastic! Very rich, so you only need a small piece, and then there's still leftovers for tomorrow!
Chocolate Cheesecake Squares
from Everyday Food
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
1/3 cup semisweet chocolate chips
- 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. Spray lined pan; set aside.
- Process cookies in a food processor until finely ground. 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. Add cocoa, cornstarch, sugar, egg, and egg white; process until smooth. Pour into pan; sprinkle with chocolate chips.
- Bake until just set, 35 to 40 minutes; cool completely in pan. Refrigerate at least 1 hour. Invert onto a tray; peel off paper, and reinvert crust side down. Cut into 9 squares

ooh, sounds fabulous!!
Kind of, but I had the hardest time finding them! They are about 3 inches across, and thin and crispy. Mine are Nabisco Famous Chocolate Wafers. I looked at like 3 grocery stores before I found them. I have had the recipe for a while but couldn't find the cookies. I bet you could use Oreos if you can't find them. Here's a picture of them, and they didn't cost me that much but they were like $4 or something.
