The Great Cheesecake Experiment - be forwarned that it's a cliff hanger...El Gran Experimento de la Tarta de Queso - te adelanto que es un cliff hanger...

in Ladies of Hive13 days ago (edited)

This recipe is from one of my best-girls's grandmothers.
Grandma Annie was an orphan.

Annie and her sister were adopted in ny...wayyy back.

Then their adoptive parents died and the remaining family gave them the boot . Talk about a hard-knock life, eh?

But they did okay enough. Well enough to leave the legacy of a great cheesecake recipe.

Little Annie's recipe does not include a graham cracker crust. I love a good crust, so we gave ours a crust

But graham crackers, if you can find them in South America, they are going to be stupid expensive because norteños are assumed to be rich.

We improvised therefore, with some "cinnamon cookies."
We also had leftover homemade mascarpone cheese, so we used a mix of that and cream cheese, cream cheese

Eggs from my own chickens...
Not enough cream cheese for a full recipe...uhoh
We asked grok to adapt it to a smaller pan.. But it looked like not enough to fill the pan.. So we added half again as much of everything.
Macarons has a higher moisture content than regular old cream cheese and we didn't account for that.. So en the to was very broken.. But the jiggle was still quite liquid, we stopped the baking...
And then I i remembered... Cheesecake must cool for at least 8 hours before cutting and eating... So 4a.m. ish
Cheesecake for breakfast!!!
I'll write tomorrow and let you know how it came out
And also include what was our final adapted recipe with crust, etcetera.....
IF it is worth reproducing this experiment.

En Español:

Esta receta es de una de las abuelas de mi mejor amiga.
La abuela Annie era huérfana.

Annie y su hermana fueron adoptadas en ny...wayyy back.

Luego sus padres adoptivos murieron y la familia restante les dio la patada . Hablando de una vida dura, ¿eh?

Pero lo hicieron lo suficientemente bien. Lo suficientemente bien como para dejar el legado de una gran receta de tarta de queso.

La receta de Little Annie no incluye una corteza de galleta graham. Me encanta una buena corteza, así que le dimos a la nuestra una corteza

Pero las galletas graham, si puedes encontrarlas en Sudamérica, van a ser estúpidamente caras porque se supone que los norteños son ricos.

Por lo tanto, improvisamos con unas "galletas de canela".
También nos sobró queso mascarpone casero, así que usamos una mezcla de eso y queso crema, queso crema

Huevos de mis propias gallinas...
No hay suficiente queso crema para una receta completa...uhoh
Le pedimos a grok que lo adaptara a un molde más pequeño.. Pero parecía que no era suficiente para llenar la sartén.. Así que añadimos la mitad de todo.
Los macarons tienen un mayor contenido de humedad que el queso crema normal y no tuvimos en cuenta eso... Así que se rompió mucho... Pero el jiggle era todavía bastante líquido, paramos la cocción...
Y entonces recordé... La tarta de queso debe enfriarse al menos 8 horas antes de cortarla y comerla... Así que a las 4 de la mañana
¡¡¡Tarta de queso para desayunar!!!
Mañana os escribo y os cuento como ha salido
Y también incluiré cual fue nuestra receta final adaptada con corteza, etcétera.....
SI vale la pena reproducir este experimento.

I write my own things and make my own fotos and almost never edit my fotos in any significant way... Maybe a crop or a black and white-ification.
I request constructive criticism... I mean I really do want it, please. Help me be a better writer, photographer and human being. DeepL helps me to translate and when I'm doing it right, helps me to improve my grasp of Spanish and English too. Bueno, thanks for engaging. Big kiss

Escribo mis propias cosas y hago mis propias fotos y casi nunca edito mis fotos de forma significativa... Tal vez un recorte o un blanco y negro-ificación.
Pido crítica constructiva... Quiero decir que realmente lo quiero, por favor. Ayudadme a ser mejor escritor, fotógrafo y ser humano. DeepL me ayuda a traducir y cuando lo hago bien, me ayuda también a mejorar mi dominio del español y del inglés. Bueno, gracias por participar. Un besote.

Artificial intelligence is useful in every field, isn't it? I sometimes ask it for recipes, and it comes up with some great ideas. I can't wait to see how the cheesecake turned out. I hope it's delicious!

As a Cheesecake specialist myself I can understand the art of improvisation of ingredient use or the lack thereof.

I've used Ginger Snap cookies in place of Graham Crackers, and I think the results were even better. So, I am sure your Cinnamon Cookies will be yummy in this! Thanks for sharing this recipe; I definitely want to try it sometime! 😋 The recipe is even more special knowing the story of the lady behind it. So, THANK YOU for telling us about Grandma Annie... 💖
