martha stewart's mini mocha cheesecakes

these are wonderful little treats that i have made many times, both for my family and for dinner parties...everyone loves them and they have no idea that they are good for them.

2c non-fat cottage cheese (i use low fat because i never have non-fat around the house)
2 lg eggs
1 1/2 powdered sugar
1/3 c cocoa powder (unsweeened)
1T plus 1t of flour
1 1/2 t instant espresso powder (the first time i made them i left this out but it makes a huge difference!)
1 1/2 t pure vanilla extract
9 thin choc wafer cookies (like Famous brand)
whipped cream (optional)

put eveything in food processor and process until smooth (about 4 min) and scrape down the sides...it will be like cake batter. Fill reg muffin tin with 9 foil cupcake liners and spray with cooking spray. spoon the mixture into the cups and then top each cupcake with a Famous cookie. bake at 275 degrees for about 40-45 min. let cool completely then refrigerate for at least 1 1/2 hours. i keep them in a container with a lid for a few days (or as long as i can keep them hidden from my kids!). when you serve them, invert them on the plate and peel off the liner. top with a little whipped cream and now the Famous cookie is your crust. they are wonderful! the texture is perfect and nobody knows they are cottage cheese! hope you like them
