Try It Tuesday

Try it Tuesday is the other new feature for the blog that I mentioned last week.  Every Tuesday I will be posting something for you to try.  It might be a new recipe I found, an exercise or whatever else I might come across.  Here is that recipe for the Weight Watchers Chocolate-Amaretto Cheesecake that my friend brought on Saturday.  Super yummy!

Chocolate-Amaretto Cheesecake

Recipe by: Weight Watchers "Simply the Best" cookbook

Six 2 1/2" chocolate graham cracker squares, made into crumbs

1 egg
3 T all-purpose flour
2 T Amaretto liquor
1 t vanilla
2 T semisweet chocolate chips

1. Preheat the oven to 300º F. Spray an 8" springform pan with nonstick cooking spray. Sprinkle the cracker crumbs evenly over the bottom of the pan.
2. In a blender or food processor, puree the ricotta and cream cheeses, the sugar, cocoa, egg, flour, liquor and vanilla. Stir in the chocolate chips.
