Preparation

Step 1

1. Combine first three ingredients to make the crust. Grease 1/2 the way up the sides and entire bottom of a 9" springform pan. Cover the sides of the pan with 1 cup crumb mixture. Press with the back of a spoon. Use the rest of the mixture on the bottom. Refrigerate while preparing the filling. Remove all ingredients from the refrigerator the night before. Separate the eggs and beat the whites until meringue consistency. Combine all other ingredients except whites and beat until smooth. Fold in whites till no streaks appear. Pour mixture into crust. Bake for 20 mins at 375F. Remove from oven and let stand on a rack for 15 mins. Raise oven temp. to 475F, then prepare the topping.

2. TOPPING: Mix three ingredients with a spoon only until blended. Pour over the cooled cake and return to oven for 10 minutes. Let stand on a rack for 5-6 hours. When filling is cool, go around the sides with a


knife, and remove from the pan. Do not cut until the next day. Store, covered until ready to serve.
