Combine boiling water and lemon rind; add to gelatin; add lemon juice and sweetener, stirring until completely dissolved.
Chill until it is the consistency of unbeaten egg whites.
Put 2 tablespoons water, cottage cheese, and lemon extract into a blender or food processor and cover; turn to high speed for 10 to 15 seconds.
Add partially set gelatin mixture; turnto high speed 15 seconds or until well blended.
Pour into prepared pan. Sprinkle reserved graham cracker crumbs evenly over top.

Chill several hours, until set.
