Beat on low for 2 minutes. Add the sour cream and beat on low for an additional minutes. Evenly spread the batter over the crust. Sprinkle the remaining crushed Oreo over the top of the batter.

Notes
A digital thermometer is a lifesaver in the kitchen. The cheesecake is ready when the internal temperature is 150 degrees 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 about 3 to 4 hours to set and firm.
