I’ve been watching a lot of Great British Bake Off recently and I’ve been really inspired by the layered cakes that they make - so much so that I’m wanting to experiment with some combinations of my own. Having never done this kind of baking before, however, I thought it would be a good idea to find a pre-existing recipe to practice building layers of flavor. I also want to keep it relatively health-conscious, so I want to limit how much I make at once and avoid too much refined sugar. And it needs to be dairy free! This blog post walks through the recipe I used and the result.

We do a lot of cooking in my house, never more so than during this pandemic. Usually we make recipes we find online with minor adaptations, but we had a hard time finding a cheesecake recipe that required minimal oven time (because it’s hot) and would only make two small cheesecakes. So we took inspiration from mini cheesecake and no-bake recipes that we found, and this recipe is the end result. And they came out fantastic!

We took our first trip to Yellowstone this past week! Our itinerary worked out pretty well, and since I relied on a lot of other people’s blog posts to plan what we would want to do, I wanted to write about what we did there. It’s the inaugural post in what I hope will be a blog series on both the tech and nature that I am exploring.
