I love to eat which ultimately led me to a love of cooking. Friends and family have told me for years that I need to write a cookbook. Well, this blog is to provide a place for all of my friends to find the latest creations from my humble kitchen. I hope you find something that inspires you to get cooking.

Skinny-Mini Mocha Cheesecakes
These have all the best qualities of cheesecake but half the calories of traditional cheesecake(180) and only 3 grams of fat.
Makes 10
1 cup fat-free cottage cheese
8 oz low fat cream cheese
1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
2 large eggs
1/2 cup unsweetened dutch processed cocoa powder
1 tablespoon plus 1 1/2 teaspoons flour
1 teaspoon instant espresso powder
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
10 chocolate wafer cookies
light whipped cream-optional
Preheat oven to 275. Line 10 cups in a 12 cup cupcake tin with liners. In a food processor combine the cottage cheese,cream cheese, powdered sugar, eggs, cocoa powder, flour, espresso powder and vanilla. Process until smooth, scraping down the bowl for about 4 minutes. Divide the mixture evenly among the 10 lined cups. Place 1 chocolate wafer on top of each. Bake for 30 minutes until the filling has set and the cookie has softened. Let them cool to room temp. and then refrigerate for 1 1/2 hours. Peel off the liners to serve and invert the cheesecake onto a plate so that the cookie is on the bottom. Top with whipped cream.
