Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a bowl, crush Oreo cookies until finely ground, then mix with melted butter and granulated sugar until combined. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of an 8-inch springform pan. Bake for 12-14 minutes until set, then cool completely.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips until smooth, then set aside to cool slightly. In a mixer, whisk together sugar and cornstarch until well blended. Add the cream cheese and beat on medium speed until smooth and creamy. Gradually incorporate the eggs, sour cream, and vanilla extract.
- Separate 2 cups of this batter and mix in the melted chocolate until thoroughly combined.
- Spoon alternating dollops of the vanilla and chocolate cheesecake batter into the cooled crust, creating a marbled appearance. Swirl gently with a knife.
- Lower the oven temperature to 300°F (150°C). Place the cheesecake pan on a water-filled baking sheet and bake for 15 minutes, then reduce temperature to 225°F (110°C) and continue baking for about 2 hours. Do not open the oven door.
- Turn off the oven, cool the cheesecake inside for 1 hour with the door slightly ajar. Cool for another hour, then allow to cool at room temperature for 2 hours before refrigerating for at least 3-4 hours, preferably overnight.

Notes
Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature for the best mixing results. Avoid overbeating and allow the cheesecake to cool gradually to prevent cracks during baking.
