Two recipes from Shelley Melvin's NOT JUST CHEESECAKE - A Yogurt Cheese Cookbook
CHOCOLATE CHEESECAKE
2/3 c. orange juice
6 T unsweetened cocoa
2 T quick cooking tapioca
2 c. low-fat vanilla yogurt cheese
2 egg whites
2 T unprocessed sugar
1) Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Lightly grease a 9-inch pie pan with cold pressed seed oil.
2) Combine orange juice, cocoa, and tapioca in a saucepan and set aside for 5 minutes. Then cook over low heat until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes. Cool slightly.
3) Place yogurt cheese in a medium-size bowl. Gradually add tapioca mixture, stirring gently with a fork or wire whisk until well blended.
4) In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites with an electric mixer or wire whisk until foamy. Gradually add sugar and continue to beat until moist, soft peaks form when beater is withdrawn. Fold into yogurt cheese mixture.
5) Pour into the prepared pan and bake until set, about 40 minutes. Cool slightly on a wire rack. Refrigerate until firm.
