We Love God!

God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)

God Himself does not propose to judge a man until he is dead. So why should you?

INSTRUCTIONS

FOR CRUST
FOR FILLING
To make crust: Position rack in center of oven, and preheat ove nto
350'F. Crumble the graham crackers into the bowl of a food processor
and process until crumbs form. Add the cereal, sugar, oil, butter,
egg white and 1 teaspoon juice or water. Pulse until the crumbs are
evenly moistened. Pinch a spoonful of crumbs together, and test
whether they are moist enough to hold the print of your finger. If
necessary, add a few more drops of juice or water and pulse once or
twice.
Turn the crumbs into an 8" springform pan or a 10" pie plate and use
your hand or the back of a metal spoon to press an even layer around
the sides of the pan. Spread the remaining crumbs evenly over the pan
bottom. Top with a piece of wax paper, and press to form an even
layer, taking care not to build up the crumbs in the corner. Bake the
shell for 7 minutes. Cool completely on a wire rack before filling.
The crust firms and crisps as it cools.
To make filling: Place the yogurt in a fine-mesh strainer set over a
bowl and set aside to drain for at least 20 minutes. Transfer to a
small bowl, and discard the whey. Drain the crushed pineapple in a
strainer set over a bowl. Press the fruit lightly with the back of a
large spoon to release all the juice. Transfer the pineapple to a
small bowl, and reserve 1/2 cup of the juice.
Place the cottage cheese in a strainer set over a bowl. cover it with
a piece of plastic wrap, and press down firmly on the cheese to force
excess liquid from the curds.
Place the cottage cheese and cream cheese in a blender or a food
processor. Process for at least 3 minutes, or until absolutely smooth,
with no trace of graininess, stopping once to scrape down the sides
with a rubber spatula.
Add the sugar, vanilla, pineapple extract and drained yogurt. Pulse
until well blended. Scrape down the sides with a rubber spatula, and
pulse several times. Add 1 1/2 cups of the drained crushed pineapple
and pulse just to blend.
In a small saucepan, combine the reserved 1/2 cup pineapple juice and
the lemon juice. Sprinkle on the gelatin and allow to sit about 3
minutes to soften. Then stir the mixture over low heat just until the
gelatin is dissolved; do not boil. With the blender or food processor
running, add the gelatin mixture and pulse to blend.
Pour the filling into the crust and refrigerate at least 3 hours or
overnight before serving. Once the top is firm, cover it with plastic
wrap.
