   • In a pan, combine the milk, egg yolks, and sugar.
   • Place the pan on medium heat and cook the mixture, stirring constantly, until it slightly thickens.
   • Pour in the dissolved gelatin and add the lemon rind, stirring until well combined. Allow the mixture to cool slightly.

4. Prepare the Cream Cheese Mixture:

   • In a separate bowl, beat together the cream-style cottage cheese, lemon juice, and vanilla essence until smooth.

5. Incorporate Whipped Cream:

   • Fold in three-quarters of the whipped cream until the mixture is smooth and creamy.

6. Assemble the Cheesecake:

8. Final Touches:

   • Decorate the top of the cheesecake with the remaining whipped cream, creating a decorative finish.

9. Variations:

   • For a variation, you can omit the lemon for a classic vanilla cheesecake flavor.
   • Additionally, you can top the cheesecake with fresh berries such as black cherries or cape gooseberries for added flavor and visual appeal.

10. Berry Topping (Optional):

    • If desired, you can create a berry topping for the cheesecake by draining the juice from the berries and sprinkling gelatin over it.
    • Heat the mixture to dissolve the gelatin, then add the berries and allow the mixture to cool slightly before pouring it over the cheesecake in the springform tin.
