Ingredients

1-1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
1/3 cup butter, melted
3 packages (8 ounces each) reduced-fat cream cheese, softened
1 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar, divided
4 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract, divided
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa
1 container (16 ounces) reduced-fat sour cream

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and butter; mix well. Press into a 10-inch springform pan, covering the bottom and sides. Chill while preparing the filling.

In a large bowl, blend the cream cheese and 1 cup sugar with an electric beater. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add 1 teaspoon vanilla and the cocoa; mix well, then pour into the chilled crust.

Bake for 50 to 55 minutes, or until firm. Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes. (Leave the oven on.) In a medium bowl, with a spoon, mix the sour cream and the remaining 2 tablespoons sugar and 1 teaspoon vanilla until well combined.

Spread over the top of the cheesecake and bake for 5 minutes.

Let cool, then refrigerate overnight before serving.

Finishing Touch: What could make this already decadent-looking and -tasting treat any more decadent, while staying within the guidelines of our healthy meal plan? Garnish it with a few fresh strawberries or raspberries. Wow! Wow!
