Steps:
- Get ready: butter a 9-inch springform pan, dust the inside with flour and tap out the excess; place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
- Make the crust: add flour, sugar, and salt in a food processor; pulse just to blend.
- Toss in the pieces of butter and pulse until the mixture resembles coarse meal.
- In a small bowl, stir the egg yolk and vanilla together with a fork, and, still pulsing the machine, add them and continue to pulse until the dough comes together in clumps and curds-restrain yourself, and don't allow the dough to form a ball.
- Turn the dough out onto a work surface; if you want to roll the dough, gather it into a ball, wrap it in plastic wrap and refrigerate for about 20 minutes before rolling.
- Or simply press the dough into the pan; the dough should come about 1 ½ inches up the sides of the springform; refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- Center oven rack; preheat oven to 375°.
- Fit a piece of buttered foil against the crust, covering it completely; fill the crust lightly with rice, dried beans, or pie weights and slide the sheet into the oven; bake crust for 20 minutes, then carefully remove the foil and weights and bake for another 5 minutes or so-your don't want the crust to get too brown; transfer to a rack to cool while you make the filling.
- Lower oven temperature to 350°.
- Make the filling: stir the jam and spread it over the bottom of the crust-it is ok to do this while the crust is still warm.
- Add the cream cheese and cottage cheese into the food processor; process, scraping down the sides of the bowl a few times, for 2 minutes, until you have a smooth satiny mix.
- Add in the sugar, salt, and spices; process for another 30 seconds.
- With the machine running, add the eggs and process, scraping down the bowl as needed, for a final minute.
- Pour filling over the jam.
- Bake for 60-70 minutes, or until the filling is uniformly puffed and no longer jiggly.
- Gently transfer the springform pan to a cooling rack and let the torte cool to room temperature, during which time the filling will colapse into a thin, elegant layer.
- Run a blunt knife between the crust and the sides of the pan, then open and remove the sides of the springform.
- If the sides of the crust extend above the filling and you don't like this look, very gently saw off the excess crust using a serrated knife.
- Chill the torte slightly or thoroughly before serving and, if you like, dust the top with powdered sugar.

Steps:
- To make the crumb mixture: In a bowl, add the graham cracker crumbs, the 1/2 cup of sugar, plus the 1 tablespoon of sugar, and the butter; mix well. (I used a fork to mix the ingredients together.) Press the crumb mixture in the bottom of a greased 11x7-inch glass baking dish. Set baking dish aside.
- At this point, preheat the oven to 350ºF.
- To make the cream cheese filling: In a bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Gradually beat in the eggs. Finally beat in the sugar and extract, until mixture is creamy and smooth. Pour the filling over the crumb mixture, and bake in the oven for 20 minutes.
- After removing the baking dish from oven, allow to cool at room temperature for 2 hours. (But, after cooling for 30 minutes, start preparing the rhubarb topping.).
- To make the rhubarb topping: In a 3-quart saucepan, add the rhubarb, sugar, and water. (You may not think a 1/4 cup of water is not enough to cook the rhubarb, but trust me it is.) Cook over medium heat for 10 minutes; stirring continuously. Lower the heat to a simmer, and continue cooking for 5 minutes; stirring continuously. Add the gelatin powder, and stir for 1 minute. Remove from heat, and allow to cool at room temperature for 30 minutes.
- Once the rhubarb mixture has cooled, place the saucepan in the refrigerator to chill for 20 minutes, then pour the mixture over the cream cheese filling.
- Place the baking dish back in the refrigerator, and chill the dessert for 3 hours before slicing and serving.
- Note: This is one dessert that doesn't need to be covered while stored in the refrigerator. (Refrigerate any leftovers.).

Tips:
- Ensure your cream cheese is at room temperature before mixing, this will ensure a smooth and creamy filling.
- Use fresh berries for the best flavor, frozen or canned berries will not provide the same level of sweetness and texture.
- If you don't have graham cracker crumbs, you can make your own by crushing graham crackers in a food processor or blender.
- Be careful not to overmix the batter, overmixing can result in a tough crust.
- Chill the torte for at least 4 hours before serving, this will allow the flavors to meld and the crust to set.
- If you don't have a springform pan, you can use a 9-inch pie plate, just make sure to trim the excess crust around the edges.
