Directions
-
-
Spray a 9-inch springform pan with nonstick cooking spray.
-
Sprinkle the crushed chocolate wafer crumbs evenly over the bottom of the prepared pan.
-
In a medium bowl, beat the thick yogurt and softened cream cheese with an electric mixer on medium speed until the mixture is completely smooth.
-
Add 2/3 cup of the granulated sugar, skim milk, flour, vanilla extract, and egg whites to the bowl.
-
Beat on medium speed for about 2 minutes, or until the batter is smooth and well combined.
-
Reserve about 1/3 of the vanilla batter in a separate small bowl.
-
To the reserved batter, beat in the unsweetened cocoa powder and chocolate extract until fully blended and smooth.
-
Pour the remaining vanilla batter into the springform pan over the crumb crust, spreading it evenly.
-
Drop spoonfuls of the chocolate batter over the top of the vanilla batter.
-
Use a metal spatula to gently swirl the chocolate and vanilla batters together, creating a marbled pattern, being careful not to scrape the bottom crust.
-
Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour.
-
Turn off the oven but leave the cheesecake inside with the door closed for 30 minutes to cool gradually and prevent cracking.
-
Remove the cheesecake from the oven and let it cool at room temperature for 15 minutes.
-
Meanwhile, add enough water to the reserved raspberry juice to measure 1 1/4 cups total liquid.
-
In a 1 1/2-quart saucepan, mix the remaining 1/4 cup granulated sugar and cornstarch.
-
Stir in the raspberry juice mixture and the thawed raspberries.
-
Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the mixture comes to a boil.
-
Boil and stir constantly for 1 minute, or until the sauce thickens.
-
Remove from heat and let the raspberry topping cool completely.
-
Strain the raspberry topping to remove seeds, if desired.
-
Spread the cooled raspberry topping evenly over the cheesecake.
-
Cover the cheesecake and refrigerate for at least 3 hours, or overnight, before serving.
