    Recipe



    Preheat oven to 375F.

    with non-stick spray. Bake just until edges feel firm and dry, about 8
    minutes. Let cool.

    Reduce oven temperature to 300F. Combine first amount sugar, flour, and
    cornstarch in a small bowl. Set aside.

    Process cottage cheese in a blender until smooth. Transfer to a large
    bowl. Add cream cheese, egg, and first amount egg whites. Beat with an
    electric mixer on high speed until smooth, about 3 minutes.

    Gradually add flour mixture and beat until well blended. Add vanilla
    and beat again.

    Mix coffee granules with skim milk until dissolved. Add to cheese
    mixture along with sour cream. Beat until smooth.

    In separate bowl, beat second amount egg whites with a mixer at high
    speed until soft peaks form. Add second amount sugar, 1 tablespoon at a
    time, beating at high speed until stiff peaks form. Fold egg white
    mixture into cheese mixture.

    Pour batter into prepared crust. Rake for 1 hour and 10 minutes, or
    until almost set. Turn oven off. Leave cake in oven for 1 hour. Cool
    completely. Cover and refrigerate for 8 hours or overnight. Run knife
    along edges of cake before removing sides of pan.

    Makes 12 servings.
