2 C. firm tofu
1/4 C. low-fat ricotta cheese
8 ounces light cream cheese
1/4 C. pure maple syrup
3 Tbsp. unsweetened cocoa powder
2 large egg whites

3 Tbsp. light Irish cream liqueur
1 Tbsp. coffee liqueur
Topping
1/2 C. low-fat sour cream or plain yogurt

Cooking Instructions
Preheat the oven to 170. Coat a 10 inch glass pie plate with three sprays of the vegetable oil. In a food processor bowl, combine the tofu, ricotta cheese, cream cheese, maple syrup, cocoa powder, egg whites, cinnamon, and the liqueurs. Puree until smooth and pour into the prepared pie plate. Place the pie plate on the center rack of the oven. On the bottom rack, place a baking pan filled halfway with water to humidify the oven. Bake for one hour. While the cake is baking, combine all the topping ingredients in a small bowl and whisk thoroughly. When the cake has cooked for an hour, remove it from the oven, spread the topping on evenly and return it to the oven. Bake for about 10 minutes more until the topping sets. Refrigerate for 2 hours before serving. Decorate with chocolate sauce design.
