; strips
1. Put Graham crumbs into a bowl. Melt the margarine and stir in the
sugar and almond extract to the margarine. Add to the Graham crumbs
and stir until evenly distributed.
2. Press crumb mixture into the bottom of a 9×9 glass Pyrex dish, or a
round 9″ sprin-form pan (the kind with removable sides). Refrigerate.
Directions for Filling
1. In a food processor, beat the cottage cheese until satiny smooth
(very important for a smooth texture).
2. Scald the milk (microwave for about 2-3 minutes). While it is
heating, soften gelatin powder in cup of cold water and let stand 1
minute. Combine these two ingredients along with the sugar, vanilla
and lemon peel. Add to the “smooth” cottage cheese mixture and gently
beat just until combined. Don’t over whip, creating a lot of foam.
3. Pour mixture into your prepared pie crust and refrigerate until
set. Decorate or serve with Cherry Pie filling or Blueberry sauce. Or
put the toppings on the table and let your guest decide.
