2 egg whites
2 T. cornstarch (this is where I use 1 1/2 T. cornstarch)
1 c. reduced fat sour cream

Mix vanilla/and or graham cracker crumbs, margarine and equal in bottom of 9-inch springform pan. Pat evenly on bottom and 1/2 inch up side of pan. Bake in preheated 350 degree oven until crust is lightly browned. About 8 minutes. Cook on rack.

Place cheesecake in roasting pan on oven rack; add 1 inch hot water to the roasting pan. Bake in preheated 350 degree oven just until set in the center, 45 to 60 minutes. Remove cheesecake from roasting pan, and return to oven. Turn oven off and let cheesecake cool in oven with door ajar for 3 hours. Refrigerate 8 hrs. or overnight.
