Chocolate Cheesecake with Blueberry

I was thinking about doing a cheesecake for a few weeks already, finally did one on Saturday night. Thought that the kids may not like cheese cake so I did half of the recipe in a 7" cake ring. Glad that the kids love it and ate 3/4 of the cake by Sunday evening.

100g melted butter
40g nibbed almonds

1 tbsp lemon juice
1 lemon zest, grated
