Preheat the oven to 170oC/325oF/Gas 3, and lightly butter a 24cm/9 ½ in springform cake tin. Combine the biscuits and butter and press into the base and a little way up the sides of the tin, and chill. Put the toffees and milk in a heavy pan and place over a very low heat, stirring, until the toffees melt (about 5 minutes). Stir until smooth. Meanwhile, tear the brownies into large chunks and scatter them over the base. Slowly pour the molten toffee over the top. Beat the cream cheese and sugar together until smooth (I do this in a food mixer), then add the eggs, creme fraeche and vanilla. Continue beating until smooth. Pour this mixture into the tin and place on a baking sheet (in case of leakage) in the oven. Bake for about 1 hour 10 minutes, or until there is still a wobble in the middle when lightly shaken. Remove and leave to cool, then remove the sides of the tin. Cool then chill. It is easier to remove from the tin the next day when completely cold.
