  4. Blend the cottage cheese until smooth, then combine it with the cooled gelatin mixture, lemon juice, and vanilla.
  5. Whip the heavy cream until firm.
  6. Beat the egg whites until they hold firm peaks.
  7. Gently fold the whipped cream and egg whites into the cottage-cheese mixture.
  8. Transfer to a cheesecake pan or serving mold and refrigerate until completely set, at least 4 hours.
