In a bowl add lemon Jell-O and boiling water--stir with a whisk until mixed. Cool to room temperature, then refrigerate until partially set. In a mixer add cream cheese and 3/4 cup white sugar--beat. Add cottage cheese--beat. Remove from mixer--add prepared Dream Whip, the chopped chocolate chips and chopped butterscotch chips--stir to mix. When Jell-O mixture is partially set, add the Jell-O mixture to the cream cheese mixture--stir well. Spread the whole mixture over the graham cracker crust. Refrigerate overnight.
