Pineapple Apricot Refrigerator Cheesecake

Pineapple Apricot Refrigerator Cheesecake

Ingredients:
2 cups cottage cheese, puréed
2 tablespoons unflavored gelatine
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 cup liquid (juice from canned fruit with water added to equal 1 cup)
1 cup sour cream
1 cup whipping cream
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup graham cracker crumbs
3 tablespoons melted butter
3 tablespoons finely chopped nuts

Directions:
Place the pineapple and apricot halves in the work bowl of a food processor or blender. Process until
puréed, about 45 seconds. Transfer to a large mixing bowl. Add salt and pureed cottage cheese and mix
well.
Place the gelatine and lemon juice in a medium bowl and stir well. Place the cup of mixed fruit juices in
a small saucepan over high heat and bring to a boil. Pour over gelatine mixture and stir until gelatin is
dissolved. Cool slightly, about 10 minutes. Gradually add gelatine mixture to the cheese mixture and
blend thoroughly. Fold in sour cream.
In a large bowl of an electric mixer, beat whipping cream at medium−high speed just until mixture
begins to thicken, about 15 seconds. Gradually add sugar and beat until soft peaks form. Fold whipped
cream into cheese mixture. Pour into a 9−inch springform pan and chill several hours until set.
Unmold cake on serving plate.
In a small bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter and chopped nuts, mix well.
Sprinkle over the top of the cake and serve.
