Ingredients

Units Scale
  • Cooking spray
  • 3/4 cup light graham cracker crumbs
  • 1 tablespoon butter, melted
  • 8 ounce package reduced-fat cream cheese, softened to room temperature
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup fat-free vanilla Greek yogurt
  • 2 large egg whites
  • 1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon low-fat milk
  • Optional: Whipped cream or low-fat non-dairy whipped topping, for garnish
  • Optional: Chocolate shavings, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Generously spray the bottom of an 8- or 9-inch springform pan with cooking spray.
  2. Mix the graham crackers and melted butter together and evenly press the crumbs into the bottom of the springform pan.
  3. In a mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese on high until very smooth. Add sugar and vanilla and mix until well combined. Gradually mix in the yogurt, egg whites, lemon juice and flour – mixing just until combined but being careful not to over mix.
  4. Take 1/3 cup of the cream cheese mixture out of the mixing bowl and put it in a small bowl. Add the cocoa powder and milk to the small bowl and stir with a spoon until evenly combined.
  5. Carefully pour the original (non-chocolate) cream cheese mixture into the prepared springform pan, being careful to spread the filling evenly over the graham cracker crumbs without breaking up the crust. Spoon small dollops of the chocolate cream cheese mixture over the surface of the filling – then using a knife, gently swirl the chocolate into the filling, creating a marble effect.
  6. Bake for 20-25 minutes (a 9-inch springform will take about 20 minutes; an 8-inch springform will take closer to 25 minutes) or until center is almost set. Allow to cool to room temperature, then place in the refrigerator to chill for 2-3 hours before serving.
  7. Optional: Garnish with whipped cream or low-fat non-dairy whipped topping and chocolate shavings. (Please note – this optional garnish will add extra calories!)
