This recipe requires a measuring cup

Mix the cookies with the melted butter to make a dough. Press this into the bottom of a 26cm baking pan and refrigerate. For the filling, in a large bowl, beat the cream cheese and sugar until creamy. Beat in the eggs one at a time. Stir in the sour cream and vanilla seeds, then stir in the cooled chocolate. Fold in the walnuts and marshmallows. Pour the mixture onto the base and bake at 180°C on the middle rack for about 55-65 minutes. Let the cake cool for about 2 hours before decorating, then refrigerate for 5 hours. To garnish, whip the cream with the sugar until stiff peaks form. Spoon onto the cake and decorate with walnuts and marshmallows as desired. Sprinkle with the melted chocolate.
