To perpare the filing, in a medium bowl, sprinkle the gelatin over 1/4 cup of the heavy cream. Allow the gelatin to soften for 5 minutes. Meanwhile, in a small saucepan over medium heat, bring 1/2 cup of the cream and the cream cheese to a simmer. Whisk untl the mixture is smooth and cream cheese melts.
