Chocolate-pecan cheesecake

PREP TIME: 15 minutes
TOTAL TIME: 50 minutes
SERVINGS: 8

3 Tbsp bran cereal crumbs
¼ tsp ground cinnamon
¼ c + 2 Tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
½ tsp instant coffee
⅓ c boiling water
8 oz fat-free cream cheese, softened
4 oz reduced-fat cream cheese, softened
½ c fat-free ricotta
⅔ c confectioners' sugar
2 eggs
1 egg white
2 tsp pure vanilla extract
½ oz bittersweet chocolate, shaved
2 Tbsp finely chopped pecans

1. POSITION an oven rack in the bottom third of the oven. Preheat the oven to 325°F. Coat the bottom and sides of an 8" springform pan with cooking spray. Combine the cereal crumbs and cinnamon in a bowl. Sprinkle evenly over the pan bottom. Set aside.
2. COMBINE the cocoa powder, coffee, and water in a bowl. Stir until smooth. Set aside.

3. COMBINE the cream cheeses and ricotta in an electric mixer bowl. Beat at medium speed until smooth. Add the sugar. Reduce the speed to low and beat to incorporate. Add the eggs and egg white one at a time, beating until blended. Add the vanilla extract. Blend until smooth. Add the cocoa mixture and stir until completely incorporated. Pour into the prepared pan.

4. BAKE for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the outer edges are set but the center still jiggles. Sprinkle the chocolate shavings and pecans evenly over the cheesecake. Return the cheesecake to the oven and bake for 2 to 3 minutes, or until the chocolate melts.
