Preheat oven to
350°F. For crust, in food processor bowl combine cookies
and nuts; process to fine crumbs. Add butter; process
just until combined. Pat in bottom of 9-inch springform
pan. Bake 10 minutes or until golden brown. Completely
cool in pan or rack about 45 minutes. |

Meanwhile, in small
saucepan melt white chocolate with ¼ cup of the whipping
cream; set aside. |
|

In a small
microwave-safe bowl, sprinkle gelatin over milk; let
stand until gelatin is softened, about 3 minutes.
Microcook gelatin mixture, uncovered, for 15 seconds,
just until gelatin is completely dissolved. Stir gelatin
mixture into white chocolate mixture. Refrigerate,
stirring often, until chocolate-gelatin mixture is
chilled and begins to thicken. |

Meanwhile, in
extra-large mixing bowl beat cream cheese, sugar, malted
milk powder, and salt on medium until light and fluffy.
Gradually add thickened gelatin mixture; beat just until
combined. In medium mixing bowl beat remaining 1 cup
whipping cream until stiff peaks form. Fold whipped
cream into cream cheese mixture until blended. Spoon
into cooled crust. Refrigerate until firm, at least 3
hours or up to 8 hours. |

To serve, remove
sides of pan; place on serving plate. Top with malted
milk eggs; slice cake. |

Cooking Tips |
|
*You can also sub 6 ounces
of amaretti for the shortbread cookies and combine those with
hazelnuts instead of almonds. |
|
**This cake is a cross
between a cheesecake and a mousse. |
