Instructions for the Brownie Layer
- Begin by lining an 8" square baking pan with parchment paper and preheating the oven to 325℉ (165C/145C Fan).

- Using a spatula, stir this together until just combined into a thick glossy batter.
- Finally add the cream cheese morsels and stir to distribute.
- Pour this batter into your baking pan and spread gently into the edges and corners so that you have an even brownie layer. Set this aside while you prepare the cheesecake portion.

- Add the egg and vanilla, whisking to incorporate and then add the sour cream.
- Crush up about 6 standard stuffed Oreos (cookies and filling all together) and add to the cheesecake batter. Stir this through with a spatula to distribute.
- Pour the cheesecake filling on top of your brownie layer and gently spread into an even layer.
- Crumble the remaining Oreos into pieces over the top.

Notes
You don't need to let spreadable cream cheese come to room temperature to soften and you don't need to drain this in any special way for this recipe. You can substitute with block cream cheese, but you will need to let the block soften and will find it a bit more difficult to beat the filling smooth initially.
