  • 2/3 cup (150 mL) sugar
  • 3 egg whites or 1/2 cup (125 mL) fat-free cholesterol-free liquid egg product

  • 1/3 cup (75 mL) fat-free caramel topping

    Carefully spread batter over cookie crumbs in pan. Bake 1 hour. Turn off oven; cool in oven 30 minutes with door closed. Remove from oven; cool 15 minutes. Cover and refrigerate at least 3 hours.

Expert Tips

  • Tip 1
    Success: Place the springform pan on a cookie sheet before putting in the oven to keep pesky drips in check.
  • Tip 2
    Variation: If you are an almond or walnut lover, use them in place of the pecans.
