Preheat oven to 300~. Grease the bottom of an 8-1/2×11 springform pan with
margarine. Sprinkle chocolate wafer crumbs into the pan. Set aside. In
processor add cream cheese, sugar, cottage cheese, cocoa, flour, extracts
and salt; process until smooth. Add egg substitute and process just until
blended. Slowly pour mixture over crumbs in pan. Place a small pan of
boiling water in the corner of the oven (this helps prevent the cheesecake
from cracking on the top). Bake for 65-75 minutes or until cheesecake is
set. Cool in pan on wire rack. Cover and chill at least 8 hours. Remove
sides of pan and transfer cake to a serving platter. Garnish with berries,
if desired.
