Ingredients for vegan 3 colors chocolate mirror glaze:Â
• 300 ml vegan condensed milk (250 ml for the dark glaze, 50 ml for the orange/ white glaze)
• 300 ml vegetable whip cream (250 ml for the dark glaze

• 13 g Agar Agar powder (10 g for the dark glaze, 3 g for the orange/ white glaze)
• 80 ml water (for the agar agar)
• Bio orange food coloring
• Bio yellow food coloring
INSTRUCTIONS:
Make the crust base:
1.  Put in the blender the walnuts, cashews, pitted dates, cocoa powder, rum essence, and coconut oil, and mix everything until a sticky paste is obtained.Â
2.  Add the chocolaty base into a 26 cm springform pan and press it down, so it’s nice and smooth, then put it in the freezer for 20 minutes.
Make the orange filling:
3. Add in the blender the soaked cashews, agave syrup, orange juice, melted coconut oil, a pinch of salt, and mix until it is nice and smooth. Then, add the orange zest, and the food coloring, and mix again for 5 seconds.
4.  Pour the orange filling over the base and put it in the freezer for 1 hour to harden.
Make the chocolate ginger filling:
5.  Cut the avocados in half, take out the seeds, then scoop out the pulp using a spoon. Put in the blender the avocado, ginger, agave syrup, coconut oil, and cocoa powder and mix until smooth and chocolatey.
6. Take your cake out of the freezer, make sure it is set and pour the chocolate filling over the orange filling and smooth with a spatula, then put in the freezer for 6 hours or overnight to set.
Make the 3 colors mirror glaze:
7. Chop the chocolate and set it aside.
8. In 1 tbsp of water put the agar agar powder and let it hydrate for 5-minutes.
9. Put in a pot the vegan condensed milk, vegetable whip cream, water, and the bloomed Agar-Agar, stir continuously, and boil for 2 minutes, at the end add the Stevia sweetener and stir for another 30 seconds.
10. Divide the glaze into 2 equal parts, add the orange and the yellow bio food coloring, then pour over the chopped chocolate and stir until perfectly incorporated, then mix with a hand blender so that you remove the air bubbles.
11. Pass the obtained composition through a sieve so that no impurities remain, thus obtaining a fine cream. Cover the glaze with a cling film to avoid creating a crust. Let it cool to 32-35 degrees after which we can pour it over the cheesecake. If you do not have a thermometer, you can take it with a spoon from the composition, and when it no longer flows like water, but as heavy cream, it is a sign that it has already reached the optimum temperature.
12. Put in a pot the vegan condensed milk, the vegetable whip cream, water, the cocoa powder, and the bloomed Agar-Agar, stir continuously, and boil for 2 minutes, at the end add the Stevia sweetener and stir for another 30 seconds, then pass through a sieve and blend with the manual blender to remove air bubbles and let it cool until it reaches the optimal temperature.
13. Pour the dark color glaze into a larger container.
14. Remove the cake from the freezer, release it from the springform, place it on a container/bowl narrower than the cake and start pouring the dark glaze in a circular motion from the center to the edges.
15.  Then pour 3 tablespoons of orange glaze on one side of the cake and with a spatula wipe over once with a fluid motion and you will get this look. On the other side of the cake with a spoon, drizzle orange and yellow glaze stripes.
16. Allow the excess to drain, remove the excess glaze and refrigerate for another 2 hours.

Last Thoughts:
A delicious mirror glaze no-bake, vegan, sugar-free, gluten-free cake in which I combined the fragrant aroma of orange with the intense chocolate. The outcome? A delight!
I can’t explain in words the taste of this chocolate and orange cake, with a fine and rich texture, it’s phenomenal. but please, don’t take my word for it 😊)), and try to do it yourself, then please leave your comments in the comments section.
You could rightly ask, well, how does avocado with cocoa work? Believe me, it works perfectly, it is very light, then comes the slightly sour taste of the orange filling and at the end, the fine mirror glaze perfectly complements it.
Good appetite!
