Recipe Talk

My mom made this in 1962 with her mom. She started making it in school back in Sweet Home Oregon. My grandma died and we lost the recipe. It had gelatin, cottage cheese, liquid whipping cream, lemon, eggs, pineapple, vanilla, cream cheese. I dont even know where to start to look for this. Can you please help. I reposted this so I could see if any fresh eyes would see it. I would love to make this with my mom.

Mix crumbs and butter. Press onto bottom and sides of a
buttered 9-inch spring pan. Drain pineapple, reserving syrup.

Soften gelatin in 1/2 cup pineapple syrup. In double boiler,
combine egg yolks, sugar, lemon peel, salt and 2 tablespoons
pineapple syrup. Cook and stir over hot, not boiling water 5
to 8 minutes until smooth like custard.

Note: Mixture will seem to get thin as it cooks.

Remove from heat. Add softened gelatin; stir until dissolved.

whipped cream, then egg whites. Pour into crumbed-lined pan.

Chill for 5 hours or until firm. When removing pan, first
