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. |

****Restaurant
Quality!- would
make it again. "We're
huge malt fans so we absolutely loved this. It was a little less
dense than a cheesecake but thicker than a mousse. Fun Easter
dessert!"
