Marble Cheesecake Squares

If you've forgotten to set out the cream cheese to soften, arrange the unwrapped blocks in a single layer in a large bowl, and microwave at HIGH a minute or until slightly soft.

Yield: 12 servings

Ingredients

• 1  cup  chocolate graham cracker crumbs (about 9 cookie sheets)
• Cooking spray
• 1  tablespoon  butter, melted
• 2  (8-ounce) blocks fat-free cream cheese, softened
• 1  (8-ounce) block 1/3-less-fat cream cheese, softened
• 1  cup  sugar
• 3  tablespoons  all-purpose flour
• 1  tablespoon  vanilla extract
• 3  large egg whites
• 1  large egg
• 1  ounce  semisweet chocolate

Preparation

Preheat oven to 325°.

Place crumbs in a 9-inch square baking pan coated with cooking spray; drizzle with butter. Toss with a fork until moist. Press into bottom of pan. Bake at 325° for 8 minutes; cool on a wire rack.

Place cheeses in a large bowl; beat with a mixer at high speed until smooth. Add sugar and flour; beat well. Add vanilla, egg whites, and egg; beat until well blended. Pour cheese mixture into prepared pan.

Place chocolate in a small microwave-safe bowl; microwave at high 1 1/2 minutes or until soft, stirring after 45 seconds (chocolate should not completely melt). Stir until smooth. Drop melted chocolate onto cheese mixture to form 9 mounds. Swirl chocolate into batter using the tip of a knife. Bake at 325° for 35 minutes or until almost set. Cool on a wire rack. Cover and chill at least 4 hours.
