Just made this recipe. Will taste it tonight. The batter was tasty but a little bland so I added a teaspoon of vanilla. I used double the wafers for the crust. It required an extra 30 minutes beyond the 40 minute maximum in the recipe. The key is shake the pan slightly and see if the center wobbles or not. When it no longer wobbles, it is set in the center.

Has anyone tried doubling this recipe and baking in a 9 x 11 oblong pan? I need more than nine servings and would rather double recipe than make it twice. Thanks for any suggestions.

This recipe can very easily be converted to a low-carb version by omitting the crust and substituting the sugar with Nectresse or Splenda. If you use semi-sweet mini-chips the carb count would be minimal. I'm going to try this tonight!

The list of ingredients clearly says: 1 large whole egg plus 1 large egg white. No 3 in the method says: Add cocoa, cornstarch, sugar, egg, and egg white; process until smooth.

Maryt53, I'm pretty sure since the directions say to cut into 9 squares that one square = a serving.

I saw someone added the nutrition info for this, but it doesn't say how big a serving is. Since it's cut into 9 squares, is it 9 servings, or can you have more than 1 square per serving?

these came out very good. not as indulgent as regular cheesecake, but very munchable. i'd skip the crust, though, as it just 'sucked up' some of the cheesecake filling and its texture was a little unpleasant. if you're not gonna make a classic butter-crumb crust i'd suggest just making the cheesecake itself and enjoying it without the crust.

Cheryllin: Don't use Oreos! You can buy plain chocolate wafers in the cookie aisle. They don't have a cream filling. I think that Nabisco makes them.

When a recipe asks for the chocolate wafer cookie crumb crust, does that mean to process the entire Oreo in the processor, or do I disgard the cream filling first?

It turned out better than I expected. It's not so sweet and has a very rich taste to it. Very good.

We have just eaten these chocolate cheese cake squares tonight and they were divine. The recipe is perfect and there is no way of going wrong if you follow it right.
I didn't change a thing tonight and it ended up great. It is delicious, not very sweet and with that velvet feeling. I used unsweetened powder and 70% cocoa chocolate chips and it was a real mature chocolate tart. But I have changed it before, just the cookies, for Maria cookies and added little cinnamon also.
Go for it.

I tried making these yesterday, but they didn't turn out! I baked them for about 40 minutes, and after cooling and refrigerating, I found that they hadn't set at all! An inch and a half around the perimeter was perfect, but the middle was still liquidy. Does anyone know why this could've happened or what I might have done wrong? Should I just try baking them for longer next time?

Just to clarify the egg/egg white question. I just noticed the Video tab at the top along side the Recipe tab. I clicked on it and watched the video. She adds one whole egg and then an egg white to the mixture in the food processor.

The Nabisco brand Famous Chocolate Wafers come in 9 ounce cardboard sleeves and I found them in the ice cream aisle--not in the cookie or cooking ingredients aisles. Hope this helps you find them. I made it for Thanksgiving 2007 for the family and it was the BEST chocolate cheesecake they had ever had they said.

Can you please add the nutrional information. I attend Weightwatchers and need to track calories, fiber and fat.

Nabisco makes cookies that a specifically called Chocolate Wafer Cookies. They are thin, and about 3" diameter round. I think a yellow package. They are a thin, large version of Nilla Wafers.

Why is there no nutritional info available? This is clearly a lower fat option compared to most cheesecake recipes. I think people wourld appreciate knowing this.

I think you need the two eggs. Eggs are the "glue" for the mixture. Cutting out the one yolk cuts down on the cholesteral.

I have made many cheesecakes and I have never had to use just an egg white. I would assume that in #3 it is just a typo and should just be the whole egg.

I would try adding one egg white event though it's not listed in the ingredients list. The directions say egg white, not whites, so I thing it's safe to add one.
