250g ricotta cheese
1 egg

Method
Combine the crushed chocolate biscuits and melted butter.
Lightly grease a springform cake baking tray, or mini tart cases.
Press the chocolate biscuit mixture into the base. Chill in the refrigerator.

Add the egg and beat to combine.
Beat in the egg whites.
Fold in the yoghurt until combined.
Fold through the icing sugar.
Fold in the flour.
Drain the tinned apricots on some kitchen paper.
Chop the apricots into small pieces.
Fold the apricot pieces into the cheesecake filling mixture.
Spread the filling evenly over the cheesecake chocolate bases.
Bake for 20 minutes (for the small tarts shells) or 30-45 minutes (for a full sized cheesecake), or until the cheesecake sets but the centre is still slightly wobbly.
