Chocolate Cheesecake!!!


Ingredients:

2 cups ricotta cheese 
8 oz cream cheese
3 eggs
1 cup sugar
¼ cup corn starch
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp lemon juice
1 tsp vanilla
2 packages instant hot coco mix

Combine all of the above ingredients in a mix master and blend until smooth.

Topping:

1 tablespoon instant coffee
2 tablespoons shredded coconut
1 tablespoon brown sugar
2 tablespoons almonds

Combine all of the ingredients for the topping in a food processor and give a few good chops, until well blended.

Crust:

Use about a dozen of your favorite cookies; such as graham crackers, nilla wafers or short bread cookies.

Combine cookies in a food processor until smooth crumbs are formed. Melt ¼ cup butter and combine with the cookies crumbs. Mold crumbs into a pie dish.

Preheat Oven 350 degrees:

Pour the cheese cake batter into the molded pie crust. Sprinkle topping over pie.

Bake for 40-45 minutes or until the toothpick test comes out clean.

This is a delicious dessert to end any nice meal.

With Love,

Catherine

I can only imagine how wonderfully fluffy and light the two cups of ricotta in this cheesecake must be! On Christmas I made a cheesecake with 1 part sour cream, 2 parts cream cheese... now I'm dying to try ricotta!
