As one of my close friend was relocating to a new town , it was time to bid him goodbye with lots of sweet treats and wishes. Since he eats only eggless desserts, he had never eaten any commercial NewYork Style Cheesecake . So, I decided to make my own eggless cheesecake for him and it turned out great.
Ingredients (for 8 inch pan):
For Filling:
16 oz or 2 packs of fat free cream cheese
16 oz of fat free or low fat sour cream
1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup Greek yogurt
1/4 cup Almond Milk
1/4 cup + 2 Tbs all purpose flour
For Chocolate Swirl:
2 to 3 Pieces of chocolate
1 tsp of butter
1 Tsp of sour cream
1Tsp Milk
For Base:
16 Graham cracker
4 Tsp of milk/Almond milk
1tsp butter
Pre heat the oven for 300 F
1) Mix all the base material , namely graham cracker , butter together and keep adding milk till it becomes slightly moist . Oil the 8 inch spring pan and press the crust mixture on the pan. Try to line on the sides as much as possible.
2) Keep inside the oven for 3 - 4 mins.
3) Then sprinkle the 1tsp sugar powder on the base material.
4) Remove from the oven and keep aside.

6) Pour the mixture in the pan on the prepared base.
For Swirl:
1) Heat the butter , sour cream and milk till boiling point.
2) Add the pieces of chocolate to this mixture and keep stirring until the chocolate melts .
3) Cool the mixture till it is lukewarm so that it does not melt the cream cheese filling .
3) Now pour this chocolate ganache in the center of the cream cheese mixture .
4) Take a small knife and swirl the the mixture together.
5) Do not try to smooth out the surface with a spoon as this will make it look messy.
Now place the pan in the oven and bake it for 55 mins on low heat (300 F). Switch off the oven when you see that the edges are set and center is still jiggly. Let the cake cool in the oven with the door left ajar.
Once the cake comes down to normal temperature cool it refrigerator for couple of hours.
And yehh! The moist soft cheesy cake is ready!!!
