Chocolate Almond Ricotta Cheesecake for Phase 1


15 ounces of Part Skim Ricotta Cheese


4 whole eggs


1 cup of Splenda


1/3 cup fat free Half and Half 


1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder


3 tablespoons Almond extract


1 tablespoon Lemon Juice


 


Preheat oven to 350 Degrees.  Place all ingredients in a food processor and allow to blend for about 5 minutes- this will allow the ingredients enough time to become very smooth- even the most grainiest Ricotta.


Spray pan with Pam. Be sure to spray the sides and bottom.


Bake 30-45 minutes until set.  I double recipe and bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes and use a medium spring form pan. Turn off oven and let sit in oven for 1 hour until in cools. Enjoy!
