Directions: |
Directions:1. Mix Knox gelatin with sugar, and salt in top of double boiler.
2. Beat together egg yolks and milk; add to gelatin mixture. Cook over boiling water, stirring constantly, until gelatin is dissolved and mixture thickens slightly (Note, it should coat the spoon very well, but will not be nearly as thick as pudding), about 10 minutes.
3. Remove from heat; add 1 tsp. grated lemon rind, (optional); cool.
4. Stir cottage cheese, lemon juice, and vanilla together. Add to mixture above. Chill -- stirring occasionally.
5. While mixture is chilling, make crumb topping with melted butter, sugar, graham cracker crumbs (or Nilla Wafer crumbs), cinnamon and nutmeg. Set aside.
6. Stiffly beat egg whites and fold into the whipped heavy cream and gelatin mixture. (Note: If you are just learning to cook--NEVER whip the cream and then beat your eggs whites. Beaters must be very clean before beating egg whites.)
7. Turn into cake pan 9" x 13" and sprinkle top with crumbs.
8. Chill until firm.
You may also omit vanilla and stir in 1 c. drained pineapple into the cheese mixture which is my favorite way to fix it.
However, you may also add blueberries, strawberries, or cherries in place of pineapple if desired. Uncle Jack's favorite way is with blueberries. |
