In a large bowl, beat cream cheese at medium speed of an electric mixer until smooth. Gradually add 1 1/4 cups sugar, beating well. Add 1/3 cup whipping cream, flour, and 1 tsp. vanilla; beat well. Add eggs, one at a time, beating after each addition. Pour 1/3 of batter into prepared pan. Top with 1 1/2 cups crushed cookie pieces; pour in remaining batter. Bake at 350º F. (180º C) for 45 minutes.
Sour Cream Layer:
Combine sour cream, 1/4 cup sugar, and 1 tsp. vanilla; spread evenly on cheesecake. Bake at 350º F (180º C) for 7 minutes. Turn oven off and leave in oven 30 minutes. Remove cheesecake and let cool completely on a wire rack.
Chocolate Glaze:
Combine 1 cup whipping cream and chocolate chips in a saucepan; stir over low heat until chocolate melts; stir in 1 t vanilla. Pour mixture over cheesecake while still warm. Refrigerate at least 8 hours before serving. Remove about 1/2 hour to 1 hour before serving, remove ring from springform pan. Decoratively place 14-16 whole oreo cookies around edges of cheesecake. Serve chilled.
YIELD: 12-14 Servings
Note: You may also substitute the newer "chocolate filled" Oreo Cookies for the crust and for decorating top of cheesecake.
If desired, instead of pouring the chocolate glaze over the cheesecake, you may decorate the edges of the cheesecake with the whole Oreo Cookies, and then pour the chocolate glaze over the cookies and cake.
