No-Bake Chocolate Swirl Cheesecake

SERVINGS: 16 slices
CARB GRAMS PER SERVING: 15

Ingredients

1/2  Cup finely crushed Graham Crackers
2     Tablespoons Butter, melted
1     Envelope Unflavored Gelatin
3/4  Cup Fat-Free Milk
2     8-Ounce packages Reduced-Fat Cream Cheese (Neufch¿¿tel), softened
1     8-Ounce package Fat-Free cream Cheese, softened
1     8-Ounce carton Fat-Free Dairy Sour Cream
1/3  Cup Sugar or sugar substitute* equivalent to 1/3 cup Sugar (Splenda)
2     Teaspoons Vanilla
4     Ounces Semisweet Chocolate, melted and cooled
Chocolate curls (optional)

1. In a medium bowl, stir together finely crushed graham crackers and melted butter until crumbs are moistened. Press mixture evenly onto bottom of an 8-inch springform pan (may not completely cover bottom). Cover and chill while preparing filling.

2. In a small saucepan, sprinkle gelatin over milk; let stand for 5 minutes. Heat and stir over low heat just until gelatin is dissolved. Remove from heat. Cool for 15 minutes.

3. In a large bowl, beat cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth. Beat in sour cream, sugar, and vanilla until well mixed; gradually beat in gelatin mixture. Divide mixture in half. Gradually stir melted chocolate into half of the mixture.

4. Spoon half of the chocolate mixture over chilled crust in pan; spread evenly. Carefully spoon half of the white mixture over chocolate mixture in small mounds. Using a narrow, thin-bladed metal spatula or a table knife, swirl chocolate and white mixtures. Top with remaining chocolate mixture, spreading evenly; spoon remaining white mixture over chocolate mixture in small mounds and swirl again. Cover and chill about 6 hours or until set.

5. To serve, using a small sharp knife, loosen cheesecake from side of springform pan; remove side of pan. Cut cheesecake into wedges. If desired, garnish with chocolate curls. Makes 16 slices.
