firmly on the cheese to force out as much liquid as possible, making
relatively dry curds. Transfer the cottage cheese to a food processor and
process for 2 full minutes or until absolutely smooth, without a trace of
graininess.
Add the cream cheese, yogurt, sugar, flour and vanilla. Process until
smooth. Remove 1/3 cup of this mixture and set it aside for marbleizing the
top of the pie. Add the egg whites, pumpkin, brown sugar, spices, and salt
to the processor. Pulse until thoroughly blended. Pour the pumpkin mixture
into the prepared crust, taking care not to dislodge the crumbs.
To make the marbleized design, spoon 5 separate pools of the reserved cream
cheese batter on the top of the pie. Draw the tip of a knife through the
contrasting batters in a swirling pattern. Bake for 30 minutes, or until
the top of the pie is set and no longer sticky to the touch. Cool the pie
on a wire rack. Serve at room temperature. (Refrigerate any leftovers.)
