Ingredients

  • 1-3/4 cups sugar, divided
  • 3 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 3 cups fresh or frozen cranberries, thawed
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen raspberries, thawed
  • 1/2 cup cranberry juice
  • 2 cups crushed vanilla wafers (about 60 wafers)
  • 5 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 3 tablespoons baking cocoa
  • 3 packages (8 ounces each) cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 3/4 cup egg substitute
  • 3/4 cup semisweet chocolate chips, melted
  • 1-1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • Additional melted semisweet chocolate and fresh raspberries, optional

Method

  • In a large saucepan, combine 3/4 cup sugar and cornstarch. Stir in berries and cranberry juice. Cook and stir over medium heat until mixture comes to a boil. Remove from the heat and cool slightly.
  • Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine the wafer crumbs, butter and cocoa. Press onto the bottom of a greased 13-in. x 9-in. baking dish. Pour berry mixture over crust.
  • In another bowl, beat the cream cheese, sour cream and remaining sugar until smooth. Add egg substitute; beat on low speed just until combined. Stir in melted chocolate and vanilla. Pour over top.
  • Bake at 325° for 45-55 minutes or until center is almost set. Cool on a wire rack for 1 hour. Cover and refrigerate for 8 hours or overnight. Drizzle with additional melted chocolate and garnish with raspberries if desired.
