How to Store

Airtight Container: Place the cheesecake bars in a single layer inside an airtight container. If you need to stack them, place parchment paper between layers to prevent sticking.
Freezer-Safe Bag: Alternatively, you can wrap each bar individually in plastic wrap and then place them in a freezer-safe bag. Squeeze out as much air as possible before sealing.
Label and Date: Don’t forget to label the container or bag with the date and type of cheesecake, so you can keep track of freshness.
