Step 1: Combine 1/2 to 3/4 cup sugar, gelatin and salt in medium saucepan. Blend in half & half or whole milk, 1/4 cup heavy cream, and egg yolks and mix well. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until mixture almost comes to a boil and gelatin is completely dissolved. Remove from heat and, with electric mixer, beat in both packages of cream cheese, lemon juice and vanilla, until smooth and fluffy.
Step 2: Chill in refrigerator until mixture is thickened, but not completely set, about 30-40 minutes.
Step 3: In small bowl, beat 1 1/4 cups whipping cream with 2 tablespoons of powdered sugar until thick. Using same beaters, beat the chilled cream cheese custard mixture until smooth, then fold in the whipped cream until blended.
Step 4: Spoon into crust. Sprinkle the top with c rushed sandwich cookies. Chill for at least three hours before serving, and store in refrigerator.
