Kraft Kitchens Tips

Healthy Living

Save 60 calories and 8g of fat per serving by preparing with Reduced Fat OREO Cookies, PHILADELPHIA Neufchatel Cheese and BREAKSTONE'S Reduced Fat or KNUDSEN Light Sour Cream.

Special Extra

Garnish with chocolate curls just before serving. Use a vegetable peeler to shave the side of an additional oz. of BAKER'S Semi-Sweet Chocolate until desired amount of curls are obtained. Wrap remaining chocolate and store at room temperature for another use.

How to Bake in a Springform Pan

Prepare as directed, using a 9-inch springform pan and reserving just 1/2 cup of the plain batter for swirling. Increase baking time to 55 min. to 1 hour or until center is almost set. Run small knife or spatula around rim of pan to loosen cake; cool before removing rim.

It was great tasting. Mine did not turn out as brown looking as the picture. I was not able to taste the chocolate at all. If you like cheesecake you will love it. No matter what it looks like. It was so easy to make.

My nine year old daughter and I made this today. The family loved it. Only a few ingredients and it turned out perfectly. No cheesecake crack and perfectly done!
