1.
Preheat oven to 325°F.
In 9-inch spring form pan, stir crumbs with vegetable oil spread until

minutes, or until deep golden. Cool 5 minutes on wire rack.

Meanwhile, in large
bowl, with mixer on medium speed, beat cream cheese until smooth. Combine sugar
and cornstarch. Slowly beat sugar mixture into cream cheese. On low speed, beat
in sour cream and vanilla. Add eggs and egg whites, one at time, until blended.
3.
Pour batter over crust.
Bake 1 hour, or until cheesecake is set but still slightly jiggly in center.
Turn off oven; let cheesecake remain in oven 1 hour. Transfer to wire rack. Run
