Crust:
Combine first 4 ingredients in a bowl. With fingers, rub in butter until mixture is crumbly. Press onto bottom of 7 or 8-inch springform pan.

In small saucepan sprinkle gelatin over water and let stand about 5 minutes to soften. Place over low heat, stirring until gelatin dissolves. Let cool to room temperature. In food processor or blender combine cottage cheese, orange juice and rind, banana, sweetener, lemon juice and dissolved gelatin. Puree until smooth.
