This is Double chocolate & Orange vegan cake. So easy to make and so delicious and healthy. 

This one will blow your mind. 

It requires no baking either It is really fresh, vibrant and delicious. This is one dessert that is seriously hard to mess up. This cheesecake is raw, meaning that all the powerful vitamins, minerals, and enzymes present in the whole foods you use to make the cake remain in tact. Instead of an atom bomb of empty calories in your belly, you actually have a handful of fruit and nuts. Perfect for the summer! Enjoy!
