NO BAKE CHEESECAKE  

3 egg yolks, beaten
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 small can crushed pineapple
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 teaspoon grated lemon rind
1 cup cottage cheese
1 tablespoon unflavored gelatin
3 egg whites
1 1/2 cups graham cracker crust mixture

Press a graham cracker crust into the bottom of a springform pan, saving some of the mixture to sprinkle on top.
In a small bowl or teacup, bloom 1 tablespoon of gelatin in 1/4 cup water; set aside.
In a double boiler, combine egg yolks, sugar, salt, pineapple, lemon juice and rind. Remove from heat and add the softened gelatin, stirring until dissolved. Add 1 cup cottage cheese, mashed. Chill until mixture has partially set.
In a clean bowl, beat three egg whites, gradually stirring in 1/2 cup white sugar until soft peaks form when the beaters are lifted. Fold the beaten egg whites gently into cheese mixture.
Spread mixture over the graham cracker crust and sprinkle reserved graham cracker crumbs over top. Chill for at least 4-5 hours.

1 and 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs

1/3 cup brown sugar, packed

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/3 cup butter, melted

16 ounces cream cheese (2 8-ounce packages)

2 teaspoons lemon juice

1 pint heavy whipping cream

1/3 cup white sugar

In a small bowl, stir together the graham cracker crumbs, brown sugar and cinnamon. Add the melted butter and mix well.

Press the crumb mixture into the bottom of an 8-inch springform pan (you can use a pie plate if you don't have a springform pan). Chill until firm.

In a medium bowl, beat together the cream cheese and lemon juice until soft. Add whipping cream and beat with electric mixer until batter becomes thick. Add the sugar and continue to beat until mixture is stiff.

Pour into chilled crust and chill several hours or overnight.

Top with sliced fruits or any fruit syrup of your choice.
