Preparation
Step 1
1. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Spray a 10-inch round cake pan with nonstick spray; line the bottom with a circle of wax paper.
2. To make the crust, combine the graham cracker crumbs and the sugar with a fork in a bowl. Add the butter and 1 T of the beaten egg whites; mix well. Press the graham mixture into the cake pan using a flat-bottomed glass to form an even crust. Bake until the crust is lightly toasted and set, about 8 minutes. Remove from the oven and let the crust cool slightly.
3. With a mixer on medium speed, beat the cream cheese and brown sugar until very smooth. Add the pumpkin puree, cinnamon, giner, mace, and salt; beat 3-4 minutes. Add the sour cream and beat 2-3 minutes. Add the egg and the remaining egg whites and beat 2-3 minutes longer, scraping the bowl as necessary. Pour the filling over the crust. Bake until the center of the cake is lightly set, about 1 hour. Cool completely in the pan on a rack, then refrigerate at least 8 hours before unmolding and slicing.
