In a small bowl, mix 1 ½ cups of the cookie crumbs with the melted butter. Press the cookie mixture evenly over the bottom of a 9 inch springform pan. Bake for 6 minutes then remove from oven and set aside.
In a large bowl add the cream cheese and sugar. Cream together until light and smooth, about 3 to 4 minutes. Add the eggs, vanilla extract, and cornstarch. Beat on low for 2 minutes. Add the sour cream and beat on low for an additional 1 minute. Evenly spread the batter over the crust. Sprinkle the remaining crushed Oreo over the top of the batter.
Bake for 45 to 50 minutes or until the center of the cheesecake has an internal temperature of 150°F. Remove from the oven, run a knife around the edge and cool completely on a cooling rack.
Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 3 hours before serving.
A digital thermometer is a lifesaver in the kitchen. The cheesecake is ready when the internal temperature is 150°F. It will be perfectly baked to a smooth, creamy and velvety perfection. Start checking the temp about 10 minutes before the end of the suggested baking time.
You can enjoy the cheesecake while it is warm but, it will be more difficult to slice into beautiful pieces. Allow the cheesecake to cool to room temp on a cooling rack. Then cover with plastic wrap and chill in the fridge for at least 3 hours to set and firm.
