   2. Beat the cream until thick peaks appear, set aside.

   3. In a small pot add the milk and sprinkle the gelatine on top, let stand one minute, then place the pot on low heat and heat just until the gelatine has dissolved, stirring often (1-2 minutes), do not boil, then immediately remove from heat.

   4. Add 1 -2 tablespoons of the cream cheese mixture to the gelatine mixture and stir gently to combine, and fold the gelatine into the remaining cream cheese mixture, then gently fold it into the whipped cream, mix until combined.

   5. Spoon the cheesecake filling evenly over the base you set aside earlier, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 4-5 hours or even better overnight.
