Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Generously butter the bottom and sides of an 8-inch springform pan. Lightly coat the bottom of the pan with the graham cracker crumbs and refrigerate the pan.
In a large bowl, combine the sugar and the cornstarch. Beat in the cream cheese. Beat in the egg. Slowly drizzle in the heavy cream, beating constantly. Add the vanilla and stir well.

Love buffalo wings? Get that same hot, zippy flavor in everything from deviled eggs to enchiladas. And of course: wings.
This iconic whiskey is a "Jack of all trades" when it comes to cooking. Toss it in some pasta, as a savory dipping sauce, and even bake it into something sweet.

I was a little unsure about the huge amount of cream cheese in this recipe but since the recipe acknowledged it I decided to try it. I think the cornstarch keeps it from getting runny so it turned out. I just opened a can of cherry pie filling to spoon on top of it.
