Cook over boiling water until gelatin dissolves and mixture thickens. (about 10 minutes) Remove from heat, add sugar substitute. Cool. Add cottage cheese, lemon juice and vanilla to cooled mixture. Chill, stirring occasionally, until mixture mounds when dropped from a spoon. Beat egg white until stiff. Fold egg white and cool-whip together into mixture. Pour into graham crust. Or pour into pie plate and top with crumb topping. Crumb Topping: crush 2 graham crackers fine. Mix with pinch of cinnamon and nutmeg. This recipe comes from the Official cook of the Governor's mansion in Little Rock, Arkansas. It takes a little work, especially getting all the lumps out of the cottage cheese. It is well worth the effort though, anything is worth it for cheesecak
