Beat cream cheese with electric mixer till ight & fluffy. Gradually beat in sugar, lowfat sour cream & vanilla.
- Add in Large eggs, one at a time. Mix well. Place bowl over a pan of warm water & mix till smooth (don't let water touch bottom of bowl). Pour about 1 1/4 c. of this batter into a separte bowl & set aside. Whisk remaining batter w/the chocolate, then stir over warm water till smooth. Take springform pan from refrigerator & fill w/chocolate batter. Gently pour plain batter over top & make swirls down into the chocolate batter with a fork. Place on middle rack of oven & bake for 50 min. Cold to room temp, remove foil & rim of pan & chill overnight.
