Skip the boring box of chocolates and make your Valentine sweetheart something special that won't sabotage his/her health and fitness goals!

Ingredients

  • 4 cups plain nonfat yogurt
  • 4 chocolate wafers, crushed
  • 1 (8 ounce) package reduced-fat cream cheese
  • 2/3 cup sugar
  • 1/4 cup skim milk
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla
  • 3 egg whites
  • 1 tablespoon cocoa
  • 1 teaspoon chocolate extract
12 servings

Directions

First Day

Make yourself a cocktail.

Place a paper coffee filter in a small strainer and place over a bowl. Spoon yogurt into paper-lined strainer and place in refrigerator at least 12 hours, discarding liquid occasionally.

Second Day

Make yourself more cocktails.

Heat oven to 300 degrees. Spay a 9 x 3-inch springform pan with nonstick cooking spray. Sprinkle chocolate wafer crumbs into bottom of springform pan. Combine the drained yogurt and cream cheese together in a medium bowl and beat on medium using an electric mixer until blended. Add sugar, milk, flour, vanilla and egg whites and continue to beat until well mixed. Place 1 cup into a small mixing bowl and beat in the cocoa and chocolate extract until well mixed. Carefully spread vanilla batter over chocolate crumbs. Drop chocolate batter by spoonfuls onto vanilla batter. Swirl through batters with a metal spatula for marbled effect, being careful not to touch the bottom of the pan.

Bake 1 hour. Turn off oven and leave cheesecake in the oven for 30 minutes. Remove and cool for 15 minutes. Cover and refrigerate at least 3 hours. Can also be served with fresh fruit of heated fruit preserves.

Make your cheesecake even more special by using a heart-shaped springform pan and slicing fresh strawberries to resemble hearts.

    Cocktails are a key ingredient for cooking. And what an inventive adaptation to what must have been a very different 24 hour fitness recipe!
