The crust is made of 'chocolate sandwich cream cookies' - I assumed these are Oreos, so I hope I'm right.

This is just like eating a big milk chocolate candy bar, only better.
Chocolate Cookie Crust
11 milk chocolate sandwich cream cookies, crushed, and 3 tablespoons butter or margarine, melted
In a small bowl stir together crushed cookies and melted butter or margarine till well combined. Press crumb mixture evenly onto the bottom of a greased 9-inch springform pan.
Milk Chocolate Filling
24 ounces cream cheese
3/4 cup sugar
3/4 cup sour cream
4 eggs
1-1/4 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 12-ounce package milk chocolate chips, melted
In a large bowl combine cream cheese, sugar, and sour cream. Beat with an electric mixer till smooth. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in vanilla extract. Stir in melted chocolate. Pour the cream cheese mixture over the crust.
Bake at 350 degrees F. for 15 minutes. Lower the temperature to 200 degrees (From Caryn--NOT a typo--that is two hundred degrees F.) and bake for 1 hour and 10 minutes or till the center no longer looks wet or shiny. Remove the cake from the oven and run a knife around the inside edge of the pan. Turn the oven off; return the cake to the oven for an additional 2 hours. Chill, uncovered, overnight.
Milk Chocolate Topping
1 cup whipping cream
1 tablespoon sugar
1/2 cup milk chocolate chips
In a small bowl beat whipping cream and sugar with an electric mixer till stiff peaks form. Pipe whipped cream mixture around the edge of the cheesecake. Garnish with milk chocolate chips. Chill till serving time. Makes 12 to 18 slices.
