Cheesecake: In small saucepan sprinkle gelatin over ¼ cup cold water; let stand for 2 minutes. Stir over low heat until dissolved. Remove from heat. In a medium to large bowl, mix cream cheese, sugar and vanilla on medium speed until smooth. Gradually add gelatin and milk, mixing until blended. Chill until mixture is thickened, but not set. Whip whipping cream until soft peaks form. Fold whipped cream into cream cheese mixture. Pour half of cream cheese mixture over cookie crust. Top with chopped cookies, then with remaining cream cheese mixture. Decorate with leftover cookies, or “mini” chocolate cream-filled cookies, chocolate curls, or with a sprinkle of cookie crumbs. Chill until firm.
