In a small bowl, combine cracker crumbs, sugar and cinnamon. Stir in melted marg. Press into the botton and 2 in up sides of a greased 9 inch spring form pan (I have made this recipe in 2 graham cracker pie crusts) Bake at 350 for 5 minutes. cool Reduce heat to 325 degrees.

Ina mixing bowl, beat cream cheese, sugar and vanilla until smooth. Add eggs yolks; beat on low just until combined. In a samll mixing bowl, beat eggs whites until soft peaks form.

3 8 oz softened means 3 block of cc softened? So no whipped cc?

I didn't decide on a recipe yet, but bought two graham cracker crusts, 2 large tempee cc and a 1 lb of sour cream in preparation for after work. Smile
