Vegan Apricot-Chocolate Cheesecake

If you love creamy textures and chocolate with a tiny bit of apricot this is the cake you have to go for!

The Summer is on our way carrying all the delicious fruits with it! Which is your favorite? Mine definitely peach and apricots. I had the chance to get some local organic apricots but being so many I had to make something not to waste most of them. I made loads of jam I’ll be keeping for the whole year since I’m used to have my breakfast with toasted sourdough bread and jam on it. Homemade things are always the best, full of nutrients, natural ingredients and make you feel amazing. Yes, because everytime you make things with love and dedication these high-frequency vibrations affect everything around you, so the food as well! Remember always to put your favorite records on while preparing lunch, dinner or anything you want. 

Free your mind of any worries and problems, just focus on relaxation and good vibes. Think positive. Cooking will help you to do so as a kind of meditation! Let’s get to the recipe!
