Double Chocolate & Orange Cheesecake Recipe | Raw Vegan Cake 

Hey everyone! I had quite a lot of requests for vegan recipes. 

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!


Ingredients :

For the Base:

2.5 cups (350 gr) of almonds + walnuts ( use any nuts you like)200 gr or 10 medal dates1-2 tbsp of coconut oil 

3tbsp of cocoa powder

1-2 tbsp water

2 tbsp of maple syrup 

Pinch of sea salt

Directions: 

Step 1 : Add your nuts into a food process and blitz away, then add your soft dates and cocoa powder with maple syrup. Then add your coconut oil and mix again. Your chocolate layer should be nice and sticky. Then add your chocolate base to your pan and spread it around evenly. 

Step 2 : Make orange cheesecake layer. Zest and juice oranges and set aside. In a food processor add your cashew nuts with maple syrup , coconut oil, orange juice and pinch of salt and blitz until smooth.  Then add orange zest and blitz again. Pour your cheesecake layer on top and then place the mixture into freezer for min 30 min. 

Step 3 : Make your chocolate mousse. Cut avocados in half, deseed and scoop out the soft mixture. Make sure they are very ripe. Add them to blender, along with maple syrup and coconut oil and cocoa powder. Mix everything together, until you have smooth mixture. 

Step 4 : Pour chocolate layer on top, spread it even and leave in a freezer overnight or at least 30 min.
