Time 1h25m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 cups crushed chocolate graham crackers or wafers
1/2 cup sliced almonds
7 tablespoons butter, melted
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup light brown sugar
1/2 cup flour
1/2 cup sliced almonds
5 tablespoons butter, room temperature
Two 8-ounce packages cream cheese, room temperature
1/2 cup sugar
1 cup full-fat Greek yogurt, such as Fage, room temperature
2 eggs, room temperature
1 teaspoon almond extract

Number Of Ingredients 18

Crust
2 tablespoon slivered blanched almonds
Vegetable oil cooking spray
6 chocolate wafers
Filling
15 ounces (1 3/4 cups) part-skim ricotta
8 ounces lowfat cream cheese, room temperature
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup lowfat sour cream
1 large whole egg
2 egg whites

2 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350°. Toast almonds on a small baking sheet for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from oven; reduce heat to 325°. Coat an 8-inch springform pan with cooking spray.

Sprinkle 2 to 3 tablespoon crumbs onto bottom of pan (just enough to coat bottom lightly). Shake pan to distribute evenly. Reserve remaining crumbs.
  • Filling:
  • Purée ricotta in a food processor until smooth, about 1 minute. Add cream cheese, sugar, sour cream, egg, egg whites, almond extract, flour and salt; puree until smooth. Whisk amaretto, if desired (or same amount of hot water), 2 tablespoon hot water, cocoa powder and espresso powder in a bowl until well combined. Stir in chocolate chips. Stir 1 cup plain filling into chocolate mixture. Set aside. Pour remaining plain filling into prepared pan. Drizzle chocolate filling in a circular pattern over plain filling. Using a knife, make circular strokes to create swirls in the plain filling. Add 1 inch hot water to a shallow baking pan; place springform pan in baking pan.
