Danger Duke had been kind to send me some acorn flour he had made so I decided to make acorn cheesecake with it. I had been looking for a recipe everywhere but couldn’t find one, so I fell back on my culinary training (which is none). So I grabbed some supplies.
And dumped a cup and a half of acorn flour in a bowl.
I put in a teaspoon of ginger
and a quarter cup of brown sugar
I added a egg for binding the flour
and 2 tablespoons of honey
and melted 2 tablespoons of butter and added that as well
I mixed the dough and it was crumbly, I was kind of going for a modified grahm cracker crust
I didn’t have a spring form, so I took a pie plate
and lined it with aluminum foil
I oiled the foil and then dumped the crumbled dough into the pan
and used my hand to form a pie shell, I stuck it in the oven for 350 for 10 mins just to firm it up some
while the crust was in the oven I dumped 2 cups of the cream cheese I had made in a bowl and one cup of sugar
I added a cup of the greek yogurt I had made
and 2 eggs
a tablespoon of vanilla
and whisked it up
I was going to make a topping, but instead decided to just add it into the mix, so I dumped a cup and a half of strawberries in I had dehydrated over the summer
and mixed well
since I added the strawberries, I added a extra egg since they would start sucking moisture out of the filling
I whisked it up good and grabbed the cooled pie crust
and added the filling
I stuck it in the oven that had been preheated to 350 and a pan of water
and baked it for 40 minutes or so until the top started to crack open a little
I set it outside to cool and it slowly deflated
it smelled awesome, I stuck it in the fridge to cool
after it cooled, I sliced it up
the strawberries were nice and tender
the crust held together well, it almost has a hazelnut taste to it
