Melt your Butter or Coconut Oil
Combine and mix together your melted Butter or Coconut Oil and Almond Flour in a bowl
Take out a 6x2 pan, line it with some parchment paper, and press your mix into it
Bake your crust on 350F/176C for 8-12 minutes or until it’s lightly browned
In another bowl mix together the rest of your ingredients aside from your Chocolate Chips
Pour your mix on top of your crust
Melt your chocolate chips
Pour your melted chocolate and cut it into your cheesecake with a knife to give it that beautiful marbled look
