Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 teaspoon Reduced-calorie margarine
6 Chocolate wafers; crush -- or
1/3 cup Chocolate Teddy Grahams -- crushed
16 ounces Light cream cheese
1 cup Sugar
1 1/2 cups Low-fat cottage cheese
1/2 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
1/4 cup All-purpose flour
2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon Almond extract
1/4 teaspoon Salt
1/2 cup Liquid egg substitute -- or
2 Eggs
Fresh berries; garnish -- opt

Preheat oven to 300~. Grease the bottom of an 8-1/2x11 springform pan with
margarine. Sprinkle chocolate wafer crumbs into the pan. Set aside. In
processor add cream cheese, sugar, cottage cheese, cocoa, flour, extracts
and salt; process until smooth. Add egg substitute and process just until
blended. Slowly pour mixture over crumbs in pan. Place a small pan of
boiling water in the corner of the oven (this helps prevent the cheesecake
from cracking on the top). Bake for 65-75 minutes or until cheesecake is
set. Cool in pan on wire rack. Cover and chill at least 8 hours.
Remove sides of pan and transfer cake to a serving platter. Garnish with
berries, if desired.
