Separate 30 Oreo cookies and scrape off all the filling. You will have 60 halves. Pulverize these, along with 4 tablespoons of butter, in a blender. Pack firmly into a 10-inch springform pan. Filling
Melt 1 cup chopped Frango Mints (original flavor) in a double boiler. With an electric mixer on medium speed, beat in 24 ounces of softened cream cheese and 1 cup sugar. Add 2 eggs at low speed, then beat in the melted Frango Mints. Add 1/3 cup whipping cream and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Blend well. Spread evenly over the crust. Bake at 350 degrees F for 35 minutes. The center will be slightly shaky when you remove it from the oven. Place it on a wire rack, and the center will firm as it cools. At this point you may either freeze it or wait until it cools completely, then glaze it. Glaze
Mix 1/4 teaspoon plain gelatin with 1 tablespoon ice cold water. Melt 4 chopped Frango Mints and let them cool slightly. Stir into the gelatin mixture. Add 1/2 cup sour cream and a speck of salt. Spread over the cold Frango Mint Cheesecake.
