Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 300 degrees.

2. In a small bowl, combine vanilla wafer crumbs, 1⁄3 cup sugar, melted butter,
and egg white, stirring to combine
well. Press firmly on bottom and up sides of a
9 1⁄2-inch spring form pan. Bake for 8 minutes; set aside to cool.

3. In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and
1 1⁄2 cups sugar with an electric mixer at medium speed until fluffy.
