Preparation

Using a mixer, crush the cookies. Add the condensed milk and melted butter and mix again. Place everything in a 25 cm cake pan and press down well: this will be the base of the dessert, which you will let rest in the fridge. Whip the cream cheese well with the powdered sugar. Separately, heat the cream (it should not boil) and add the sheets of gelatin that you have soaked in cold water and well squeezed. Mix the cream well, then add it to the cream cheese. Add the yogurt to only part of the cream, in order to obtain two creams of different colors. Pour the pink cream over the dessert, level it, pour the white cream, garnish as desired with cookies or other toppings, and serve.

Tips
If you want to achieve a perfect layered cheesecake, make sure to level the creams well before letting them set in the fridge, so that the colors blend harmoniously.
Trivia
Cream cheese, the main ingredient of cheesecake, was invented in the United States in 1872 and has become a symbol of American pastry.
