This recipe uses:

Ingredients

  • 2 cups Bison Cottage Cheese
  • 1 cup crushed chocolate wafers (about 16)
  • 8 oz reduced-fat cream cheese, cubed
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 Tbsp vanilla extract
  • 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
  • 1 large egg white
  • 2 oz bittersweet chocolate, melted and cooled
  • Pinch of salt
  • Fresh raspberries

Instructions

  • Step 1

    Place a 9-inch springform pan on heavy-duty foil, about 18-inch square; wrap foil securely around pan and coat inside of pan with cooking spray. Press crushed wafers onto bottom and 1 inch up sides.

  • Step 2

    Preheat oven to 350°F.

  • Step 3

    In a food processor or blender, blend Bison Cottage Cheese until smooth. Add cream cheese, sugar, and salt; process until blended. Transfer to bowl and stir in vanilla, eggs, and egg white. Remove 1 cup of batter to a small bowl and stir in melted chocolate.
