Recipe Rumble

Ingredients:
4 ounces sugar-free Macaroons
3 tablespoons butter, melted
2-1/2 ounces unsweetened chocolate
24 ounces cream cheese
1/4 teaspoon almond essence
Three eggs
2 ounces single cream
6-1/2 ounces Splenda
8 ounces whipped cream

Directions:
Crush macaroons and mix with melted butter. Using a spoon, press one third of mixture around the sides of a 9 x 1-inch high microwave proof bowl double lined with baking paper and set rest aside. In a large microwave proof bowl, put chopped chocolate and cream cheese and microwave on 50% power for two to three minutes until cheese is softened and chocolate is melted, stirring halfway through cooking. Whisk with hand mixer until smooth. Add eggs, artificial sweetener, almond essence and cream and beat until smooth. Microwave cheese mixture for five to eight minutes on 100 percent power until very hot, beating three times during cooking.

Into prepared dish, pour mixture. With spoon, lightly press remaining crumbs on top of cheesecake to form a crust. Elevate dish on microwave safe rack or ramekin turned upside down. Cook on 50-percent power for six to eight minutes until softly set. Allow to stand in dish on heatproof surface for 30 minutes until set. Cover and refrigerate for four to five hours or overnight.
