Ingredients:

Serving

1-1/4 cups crushed reduced-fat vanilla wafers (about 40 wafers)

2 packages (8 oz each) reduced-fat cream cheese
1 package (8 oz) fat-free cream cheese
2 tbsp cornstarch
2 eggs, lightly beaten
2 egg whites
1 cup (8 oz) reduced-fat sour cream
1 tsp vanilla extract

In a small bowl, combine wafer crumbs, butter and 1 teaspoon sugar. Press onto the bottom and 1/2 in. up the sides of a greased 9-in. springform pan. Bake at 350° for 8 minutes. Cool on a wire rack.
In a large bowl, beat the reduced-fat and fat-free cream cheese, and cornstarch until smooth. Add eggs and egg whites; beat on low speed just until combined. Stir in the sour cream and extract. Pour into crust. Place pan on a baking sheet.
