Ingredients
  

  • 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
  • ⅓ cup melted unsalted butter
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 2 cups full-fat cottage cheese
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1 packet (2 ¼ tsp) unflavored gelatin
  • ¼ cup cold water
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream

Method
 

  1. Stir crumbs, melted butter, and 2 tbsp sugar together, press into a 9-inch springform pan, and chill 15 minutes.
  2. Sprinkle gelatin over cold water, rest 5 minutes, then warm over low heat until dissolved.
  3. Blend cottage cheese, cream cheese, ¾ cup sugar, vanilla, and lemon juice until silky smooth.
  4. Whip heavy cream to stiff peaks.
  5. Mix dissolved gelatin into the cheese mixture, then fold in the whipped cream until no streaks remain.
  6. Pour filling over the crust, smooth the top, and refrigerate at least 4 hours until firm.
  7. Release the pan, slice with a hot knife, and serve cold.

Notes

The hands-on prep takes about 30 minutes, and then the cheesecake needs at least 4 hours to chill, so plan ahead. Overnight gives the cleanest slices and the fullest flavor.
