Preparing cream cheese filling:

Beat the cream cheese, sugar, vanilla and flour. Beat on medium speed until smooth (about 2 minutes). Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well (about 30 seconds) after each addition.
Now gently add sour cream with cream cheese mixture.
Pour this mixture over biscuit base.

Preparing chocolate filling:

Chop chocolate and place in a heatproof bowl over a saucepan of simmering water (make sure the bowl doesn’t touch the water) and stir until melted and smooth.
In a bowl, add melted chocolate with milk and mix well.
Pour chocolate mixture over the cheese filling in several separate spots (not evenly). Swirl with tip of knife or skewer to create a marbled effect.
