Chocolate Cheesecake Bars
Serving Size : 12
1 serving cooking spray -- or enough to coat pan
1 cup milk chocolate chips
4 pieces chocolate wafers
2 large egg whites
1/2 cup sugar
8 oz neufchatel cheese
1/2 cup fat-free egg substitute
2 Tbsp unsweetened cocoa
1 tsp vanilla extract
3/4 cup light sour cream
Preheat oven to 325°F. Coat a 9-inch square baking dish with cooking spray.
Melt chocolate chips in a double boiler and let cool slightly. Place wafers (or
chocolate graham crackers) in a plastic bag and crush with a rolling pin to form
fine crumbs; sprinkle over bottom of prepared pan.
With an electric mixer, whip egg whites until soft peaks form. Slowly add 1/4
cup of sugar; beat until stiff and set aside. In another bowl, beat cheese with
remaining sugar until smooth. Add egg substitute; beat until smooth and scrape
down the sides as needed. Add cocoa and cooled chocolate; beat until smooth. Add
vanilla and sour cream; beat until smooth and scrape down the sides as needed.
Fold in egg whites. Pour into prepared pan and bake until firm, about 45
minutes. Cool and slice into 12 pieces.
