Kindness!

 

I remember I was sad because there was an investegation if I have autism (this was in 2020). Laura Hunsaker was kind and let me read an early copy of Against the Boards (one of the stories in Roughing It). I helped with the Swedish words. I don't think I can explain how much it meant! I think she understood that I needed something else to think about. I always felt that I was different but to actually get an autism diagnosis felt exhausting. I felt like I was an alien. We need more kindness in the world. I'm glad that there are awesome people who lift each other up!

Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). Grease a 9-inch springform pan.

Make the Crust:

In a bowl, combine Oreo crumbs and melted butter. Mix until well combined.

In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth and creamy.

Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.

Mix in cocoa powder and pink food coloring until fully incorporated.

Gently fold in rainbow sprinkles. 🧀🍬🌈

Assemble the Cheesecake:

Pour the cheesecake batter over the cooled crust, spreading it evenly with a spatula. 🍰

Bake the Cheesecake:

Bake in the preheated oven for 60-70 minutes, or until the center is set and the edges are lightly browned.

Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool inside with the door slightly open for 1 hour to prevent cracking. 🌡️

Chill the Cheesecake:

Refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow it to fully set and develop flavors. ❄️

Prepare the Drip:

In a microwave-safe bowl, heat white chocolate chips and heavy cream in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth. 🍫

Assemble and Decorate:

Drizzle the white chocolate ganache over the edges of the cheesecake, allowing it to drip down the sides.

To be myself!

 

The good thing about getting older is that I don't care what others think of me! I just try to live my life as I want to! I want to be true to myself!
