Meanwhile, beat the remaining eggs with the rest of the sugar, a pinch of salt and the vanilla extract. Mix in the cottage cheese and cream cheese. Remove the shell from the refrigerator and fill it with the cheese mixture. Roll out the reserved dough to 1/8 inch thick. Cut out shapes and place on top of the cheesecake. Bake for 1 hour. Check the cake after 45 mins and cover with foil if necessary.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool in the pan for 1 hour. When ready to serve, remove from the pan, cut into pieces and serve with whipped cream.
