Sprinkle 3 tbs. graham cracker crumbs on bottom of 9" pie or cake pan; set aside. Soften gelatin in ½ c water. Add water to pineapple juice to make ¾ cup; bring to a boil; stir in gelatin.
In bowl, beat cottage cheese until nearly smooth, at highest speed on mixer - about 3 to 4 minutes. Add egg yolks, nonfat milk, lemon juice, sweetner, vanilla and salt and beat well. Blend in gelatin at low speed.
