2 c. graham cracker crumbs
1/2 c. (1 stick) butter, melted
1 c. sugar, divided
2 lbs. cream cheese
2 lg. eggs, lightly beaten
1 tsp. vanilla extract
2 tbsp. cornstarch
1 c. sour cream

Preheat oven to 450 degrees. In a bowl, place graham cracker crumbs, butter and 2 tablespoons sugar; blend well. Reserve 2 tablespoons for garnish. Press remaining mixture onto bottom and sides of a greased 9 inch spring form pan. Chill in freezer while preparing filling - in mixing bowl, beat cream cheese and remaining sugar until smooth and light. Beat in eggs, vanilla and cornstarch, just until blended. Stir in sour cream. Pour mixture into prepared crust and bake for 10 minutes. Reduce temperature to 200 degrees and bake 45 minutes. Turn oven off; allow to cool with oven door open slightly for 3 hours. Remove sides from pan; sprinkle with reserved crumb mixture and chill. Makes about 12 servings.
