Method

Combine the first three ingredients; press into bottom and 1-1/2 inches up the sides of a greased 9" springform pan. Chill 1 hour or until firm.

Puree raspberries in a blender or food processor. Press through a sieve; discard seeds. Add water if necessary to measure 1 cup.

In a saucepan, combine sugar and cornstarch. Stir in raspberry juice; bring to boil. Boil 2 minutes, stirring constantly.

Remove from heat; stir in lemon juice and set aside.

In a mixing bowl, beat cream cheese, sugar, flour and vanilla until fluffy. Add egg whites; beat on low until just blended.

Stir in cream.

Pour half into crust. Top with 3/4 cup raspberry sauce. Cover and refrigerate remaining sauce.

Carefully spoon remaining filling over sauce.
