Marble Cheesecake Squares

I decided to try my hand at making cheesecake. I have never ventured into this before and have done very little baking in my time. I have to say these turned out pretty darn tasty. They were all gone at the party in no time!

Ingredients

1 cup chocolate graham cracker crumbs (about 9 cookie sheets)

Cooking spray

1 tablespoon butter, melted

2 (8-ounce) blocks fat-free cream cheese, softened

1 (8-ounce) block 1/3-less-fat cream cheese, softened

1 cup sugar

3 tablespoons all-purpose flour

1 tablespoon vanilla extract

3 large egg whites

1 large egg

1 ounce semisweet chocolate

Preheat oven to 325°.
Place crumbs in a 9-inch square baking pan coated with cooking spray; drizzle with butter. Toss with a fork until moist. Press into bottom of pan. Bake at 325° for 8 minutes; cool on a wire rack.

Place cheeses in a large bowl; beat with a mixer at high speed until smooth. Add sugar and flour; beat well. Add vanilla, egg whites, and egg; beat until well blended. Pour cheese mixture into prepared pan.

Place chocolate in a small microwave-safe bowl; microwave at high 1 1/2 minutes or until soft, stirring after 45 seconds (chocolate should not completely melt). Stir until smooth.

Drop melted chocolate onto cheese mixture to form 9 mounds. Swirl chocolate into batter using the tip of a knife.

Bake at 325° for 35 minutes or until almost set. Cool on a wire rack. Cover and chill at least 4 hours.
