Set aside to cool slightly. 3 Meanwhile make the biscuit base by mixing together the Oreos and melted butter. Press into a spring-form tin or brownie pan if you want to make bars. 4 In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese, remaining caster sugar, soured cream, vanilla extract and eggs until well-mixed. 5 Pour half the mixture into the bowl with the melted chocolate and mix in thoroughly. 6 Spoon in alternate amounts of the plain vanilla mixture and the chocolate one onto the biscuit base. 7 Bake for 50 minutes or until firm, cool completely before serving.
