Sugar Free New York Style Cheesecake (Stevia) - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    1/4 teaspoon stevia (stevioside)
    2 eggs
    2 egg whites
    2 tablespoons cornstarch
    3 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
    1 cup sour cream

    crust
    8 ounces whole pecans, ground
    1 1/2 tablespoons butter, softened
    1 tablespoon flour (optional)
Preparation
    Grind the pecans, mix with butter and flour (just helps to hold together, but you don't need it). Put into a 9 inch springform pan.
    In a bowl beat cream cheese, sour cream, vanilla, stevia until fluffy (this is the point I do the tasting to see if it may need more stevia, everyone's taste is different so add a little at a time til you find what \" tastes good to you. I use the stevioside which is stronger then regular stevia).
    Beat in eggs, egg whites and cornstarch. pour mixture over crust into springform pan. bake at 300\u00b0F until firm in center (45-60 minutes) refrigerate overnight.
    Variations: using above recipe.
    Key Lime-.
    Zest and juice 5 key limes ( they a smaller then regular limes) plus another 3 tbsp of lime juice, omit the vanilla beans if you like. Add at the beginning, at tasting for stevia see if you need more juice.
    Chocolate-.
    Use almonds instead of pecans for the crust.
    Omit the egg whites and increase eggs to three total. Add 1/3 cup Dutch cocoa.
