CHOCOLATE CHEESECAKE 
6 chocolate wafers, crushed
1 1/2 c. light cream cheese
1 c. sugar
1 c. 1% cottage cheese
1/4 c. + 2 tbsp. cocoa
1/4 c. flour
1 tsp. vanilla
1/4 tsp. salt
1 egg
2 tbsp. semi sweet chocolate mini morsels
Chocolate curls (opt.)

Sprinkle chocolate wafer crumbs in bottom of an 8" pan. Set aside.

Cream and blend cream cheese and next 6 ingredients until smooth. Fold in chocolate morsels. Slowly pour mixture over crumbs in pan. Bake at 300 degrees for 45 to 50 minutes or until cheesecake is set. Let cool in pan on wire rack. Cover and chill at least 8 hours. Remove from pan, transfer to serving plate. Garnish with chocolate curls, if desired. Yield: 12 servings (about 200 calories per serving).

To make chocolate curls, melt 3 squares semi sweet chocolate. Pour the melted chocolate onto wax paper and spread to a 3" wide strip. Let stand until cool but not firm. Pull a vegetable peeler across the chocolate and transfer curls to a plate. Store curls in the freezer.
