Ingredients

• 8 ounces low-fat cream cheese
• 3 cups non-fat Greek yogurt
• 0.5 cup honey
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.25 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 tablespoon instant espresso powder
• 1 tablespoon hot water
• 3 large egg whites
• 0.25 cup granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C) and prepare a 9-inch pie dish by lightly greasing it.

Step 2

In a small bowl, dissolve the instant espresso powder in the hot water and set aside to cool.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, beat together the low-fat cream cheese and 2 cups of the non-fat Greek yogurt until smooth and creamy.

Step 4

Add the honey and vanilla extract to the cream cheese mixture and beat until thoroughly combined.

Step 5

In a separate bowl, whisk together the cocoa powder and the remaining 1 cup of Greek yogurt until smooth. Stir in the cooled espresso mixture until evenly mixed.

Step 6

In another clean bowl, beat the egg whites to soft peaks, gradually adding the granulated sugar and cornstarch until the mixture becomes glossy and stiff peaks form.

Step 7

Gently fold the egg white mixture into the cream cheese mixture until fully incorporated.

Step 8

Pour half of the cream cheese mixture into the prepared pie dish, then add half of the chocolate espresso mixture on top. Use a knife or skewer to swirl the mixtures together gently.

Step 9

Repeat with the remaining cream cheese mixture and chocolate mixture, creating a beautiful swirl pattern.

Step 10

Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for about 45 minutes, or until the center is set and slightly jiggles when shaken.

Step 11

Remove the dish from the oven and let it cool at room temperature. Once cooled, refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving to ensure the dessert is fully set.

Step 12

Serve cold and enjoy your delicious, low-fat mocha swirl dessert!
