Preparation
- Separate the cream from the cookies into 2 different bowls.
- Place the cookies into a plastic bag and crush them into fine crumbs with a rolling pin. Set aside ½ cup (50g) of the crumbs for later.
- Pour the cookie crumbs into a bowl and combine with the melted butter, mixing until the texture is like slightly wet sand.
- Press the cookie crumbs in an even layer into the bottom of a 9-inch (23 cm) springform pan. Set aside.
- In a medium pot over low heat, mix together the cream cheese, sugar, the cream from the cookies, and vanilla extract, stirring until there are no lumps.
- In a measuring cup, mix the milk with the gelatin until dissolved.
- Pour the milk into the cream cheese mixture, stirring constantly until the mixture starts to bubble slightly. Remove from heat.
- Pour the mixture over the cookie crust in the springform pan. Using a spatula or a spoon, smooth the top.
- Sift the saved cookie crumbs on top of the cheesecake in an even layer, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours.
- Unclasp the ring of the springform pan, slice, then serve!
- Enjoy!

You don’t need to add gelatin, it works well without it.

Didn’t use the gelatin in the recipe. Came out very smooth... yummy!

The use of gelatin is for stabilizing purposes. While yes, the cream cheese filling can hold up on its own without the gelatin, the gelatin allows the cheesecake to come to room temperature without getting mushy, and in my opinion gives it more of a cheesecake consistency and less of a firm cream cheese frosting consistency. I also added cookies inside!! :)

Turned out perfectly, so happy with the result (to set faster pop the cake into the freezer for about 45-1 hour the move to refrigerator) and for a clean slice use dental floss or a cheese wire
