Not-So-Fattening Cheesecake

(Yield: 12 servings)

2 envelopes unflavored gelatin
1 3/4 teaspoons Sweet 'N Low® (7 packets)
4 eggs, separated
1 cup skim milk
2 1/2 cups creamed cottage cheese
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 teaspoon almond extract
1/3 teaspoon salt
Graham cracker crust (optional)

In medium saucepan, mix gelatin with Sweet'N Low; blend in egg yolks beaten with milk. Let stand 1 minute. Stir over low heat until gelatin is completely dissolved, about 5 minutes. Pour into large bowl. With electric mixer, add remaining ingredients, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Chill, stirring occasionally, until mixture mounds slightly when dropped from spoon. In large bowl, beat egg whites until stiff. Fold into gelatin mixture. Turn into 9-inch spring-form pan or prepared crust; chill until firm. Garnish, if desired, with sliced fresh fruit.
