Happy Easter everyone! Spring came and went and it’s almost summer time. Wanted to make a chocolate cheesecake with oranges and strawberries before they disappear until winters. And it turned about to be the perfect Easter weekend treat! This eggless no-bake chocolate is so easy to make and can be fixed easily in the night to be consumed the next day which is exactly what I did.
