For the base, I have used the gluten free biscuits that I have prepared yesterday. The biscuit prepared wholly using almond meal is not only gluten free, it is also diary free, fatless and egg less..

Unlike other cheesecake that have some flour in the cheese batter, I have omitted the plain flour for the sake of this recipe.

As for the creaminess, instead of using heavy cream or normal cream, plain yoghurt was used.. This will  substantially cut down the calories.  To enhance the flavour of the chocolate, Baileys  Irish Cream was added.
