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 and enjoy!
