Baked Mocha Ricotta Cake

Recipe submitted by NM6

Pin It

I love cheesecake, but don't want to have my days fat allocation in one slice, so I adapted a recipe and it satisfies my cheesecake cravings and is a lot lower in fat than a regular baked cheesecake.

Serves 8 to 10

Ingredients

1/2 x packet of plain chocolate biscuits
500g slicing ricotta cheese
1/3 cup caster sugar
2 x whole eggs
200g tub vanilla yogurt
100g grated dark chocolate
2 tablespoons liquid espresso coffee
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
