Tips for Storing Cheesecake

Cookthink’s search results for “cheesecake” turn up dozens of recipes, insights and articles on this classic dessert. Whether you’re looking for a traditional New York-style cheesecake or something a little more adventurous, we can help you find the perfect recipe.

Once you’ve made your cheesecake, though, you may be wondering how to store it. Here are a few tips to help you keep your cheesecake fresh and delicious.

First, if you have time, allow the cheesecake to cool completely before storing it. This will help prevent it from sweating or developing condensation on the surface. If you’re in a hurry, though, you can put the cake in the fridge while it’s still warm.

Wrap the cooled (or cooled and refrigerated) cake tightly in plastic wrap or aluminum foil, taking care to avoid trapping any air pockets around the cake. Then store the cake in the fridge for up to four days.

If you need to store your cheesecake for longer than that, wrap it tightly as described above and freeze it for up to two months. When you’re ready to eat it, thaw the cake overnight in the fridge before serving.

How to Freeze Cheesecake

When it comes to storing cheesecake, the key is to keep it as cold as possible while still allowing it to breath. That sounds like a tall order, but it’s actually not too difficult. Follow these tips and you’ll be able to store your cheesecake for up to two weeks in the freezer.

The first step is to wrap the cheesecake tightly in plastic wrap. Be sure to wrap it well, so that no air can get in.

Next, place the wrapped cheesecake in a freezer-safe container. Again, be sure that the container is airtight. You don’t want any ice crystals forming on your beautiful cake!

Finally, store the container in the coldest part of your freezer. Ideally, you should store it at 0 degrees Fahrenheit (-18 degrees Celsius).

When you’re ready to enjoy your cheesecake, simply remove it from the freezer and allow it to thaw overnight in the refrigerator.

How to Thaw Cheesecake

It’s important to thaw cheesecake correctly to avoid ruining the texture. The best way to thaw a cheesecake is in the refrigerator overnight. Take the cheesecake out of the freezer and let it sit on the counter for about 30 minutes to soften slightly. Then, transfer it to a plate or platter and place it in the refrigerator. Leave it in the refrigerator overnight, or for at least 8 hours, to thaw completely.

If you’re short on time, you can also thaw cheesecake in the microwave. Start by taking the cheesecake out of the freezer and letting it sit on the counter for about 30 minutes to soften slightly. Then, transfer it to a microwave-safe plate or platter. Microwave the cheesecake on 50% power for 2-3 minutes, or until thawed.

Once your cheesecake is thawed, you can keep it stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Be sure to cover it tightly with plastic wrap or aluminum foil to prevent it from drying out.

Cheesecake Recipes

Cheesecake is best the day it is made, but will keep for up to four days in the refrigerator, if properly stored. Cheesecake can be frozen for up to two months. To store, cover loosely with plastic wrap or aluminum foil, making sure that the wrap does not touch the top of the cheesecake or it will stick.
