Yield makes 9

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 cups nonfat cottage cheese
2 large eggs
1 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar
1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 tablespoon plus 1 1/2 teaspoons all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons instant espresso powder (not instant coffee)
1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
9 chocolate wafer cookies, such as Famous
Whipped cream, for serving (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 275°F. Line 9 cups of a standard muffin tin with paper liners. In a food processor, combine cottage cheese, eggs, confectioners' sugar, cocoa powder, flour, espresso powder, and vanilla. Purée until smooth, about 4 minutes, scraping down sides as needed.
  • Divide mixture among prepared cups, filling each one just below rim, and place 1 cookie on top of each. Bake until fillings are set and cookies soften, 25 to 30 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack and let cool completely in pan, then refrigerate (in pan) at least 1 1/2 hours (or up to 3 days, covered).
  • To serve, invert cheesecakes onto plates and peel off liners. Top each with a dollop of whipped cream, if desired.
  • About cottage cheese
  • Cottage cheese varieties range from nonfat to 4% milk fat and have small, medium, or large curds. We prefer nonfat cottage cheese with small curds for this recipe. For a heart-healthy diet, choose one with fewer than 400 milligrams sodium per serving.
