"Cheesecake in a slow cooker? Actually, it's a brilliant, delicious idea. The even heat of the slow cooker is akin to the water, and it gives the cake a velvety, smooth texture. Be sure to make it a day ahead; the cake improves in flavor and texture with overnight refrigeration and will last up to four days in the fridge. Before attempting this recipe, check to see that your slow cooker is large enough to accommodate a 7-inch springform pan; a 3 1/2 to 4-quart cooker worked. Each serving is 1/10th of cake. Point Value is 6. I found this recipe in Weight Watchers magazine. I have not tried this recipe, but I'm posting this for safe keeping."

Ready In:: 3hrs 15mins
Ingredients:: 10
Yields:: 1 cheesecake
Serves:: 8-10

ingredients

Crust
1 cup finely crushed chocolate wafer cookie (16 cookies, such as Nabisco Famous Wafers)
2 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons butter, nmelted
Filling
2 teaspoons instant espresso instant coffee granules or 2 teaspoons instant coffee granules
2 teaspoons warm water
16 ounces style light cream cheese, at room temperature
¹⁄₂ cup firmly packed brown sugar
¹⁄₂ cup fat free egg substitute
¹⁄₃ cup chocolate syrup
¹⁄₂ teaspoon unsweetened cocoa powder

directions

To prepare the crust, combine the cookie crumbs and sugar with a fork in a small bowl. Add the butter and mix well. Press into a 7-inch springform pan; refrigerate 15 minutes.
In another small bowl, blend the coffee granules and the water until dissolved, and set aside.
With an electric mixer on medium speed, beat the cream cheese and brown sugar in a mixing bowl until very smooth. Beat in the egg substitute. Add the chocolate syrup and the espresso mixture and beat until well mixed, scraping the bowl as necessary. Pour into the crust.
To place the pan in and remove it from the slow cooker easily, cut two 20x6-inch strips of heavy-duty aluminum foil. Fold each strip lengthwise into thirds. Cross them and place the filled pan in the center of the cross. Bring the four strips up and lift the pan, using as handles. Place the pan in the slow cooker, leaving the foil strips under it. Cover and cook on HIGH until nearly firm but still slightly wobbly in the center, 3-3 1/2 hours. Turn off the slow cooker and let the cake stand, uncovered, until cool enough to handle, about 30 minutes.
Use the foil strips to lift the pan carefully out of the slow cooker. Cool completely in the pan on a rack; then cover and refrigerate 8 hours or overnight before unmolding and slicing. Just before serving, lightly dust the cake with the cocoa powder.

Square Meals Make Round People - Author Unknown Do It With Love---It Will Taste Better - Author Unknown I joined zaar in 2002 but I really didn't use it much on until 2006 after my computer crashed and I lost all my unsaved recipes. Now I post all recipes I've tried or would like to try. I'm actually making it my goal to try almost all the recipes I've posted as soon as I can. I love food and I love to eat and try different recipes. My favorite course is dessert. I love sweets! This leads me to that I did have Gastric Bypass surgery on July 25th 2008. On that note I love baking and cooking a priceless gift passed down from my grammy who I dearly loved and miss deeply. My grammy passed away 1/15/07. She was a wonderful cook and baker and taught me many things and the most valueable things was how to be a wonderful cook and baker like her. I really enjoy searching for new recipes especially here on Zaar. I'm always finding and adding to my cookbook new and exciting recipes. I also enjoy posting recipes here on Zaar as well. I really love collecting different cookbooks. I have over a 100 and growing! I collect mostly Taste Of Home & community cookbooks. The minute I get a cookbook home I sit down and I read my cookbooks from front to back like novels. I work for the Elmira City School District and YWCA. I'm raising my 8 yrs old newphew. I'm a part time college student studing Early Childhood Education, but taking time off and hoping to return soon. I live in Elmira, New York where famous writer Mark Twain did some of his writing and he once lived. I have 1 cats Samantha and 1 dog our newest member MOO MOO (my nieces dog) who are my children as I do not have any human children of my own. I lost four of my very dear children (kitty's) Callie June 2007, Miss Kitty in March 2010, my dog Angel in December 2010, and my other cat Chase in September 2011. I'm recently married on August 12th 2010. I love spending time with my niece 9 yrs old and my newphews 7 & 8 yrs old. I enjoy couponing and trading coupons. I love the internet as there's so much to look at online even though you know where I spend most of my time! I enjoy going to yard sales and estate sales every spring - fall. I love gardening and have many different pretty flowers. 8724441"
