Notes

How to Store New York Cheesecake

Once your cheesecake has fully cooled (totally cooled boos, don't play around), cover it tightly with plastic wrap or aluminum foil, or pop it in an airtight container. Keep it in the fridge, and it’ll stay fresh for a good while.

How long will New York Cheesecake last in the fridge?

This cheesecake will last 4 to 5 days in the fridge.

Can I freeze New York style cheesecake?

Yep, you can freeze it! Wrap the whole cheesecake or individual slices (no need to defrost the entire thing! Unless you wanna eat the whole thing, I won’t judge) in plastic wrap and then foil, or use a freezer-safe bag. It’ll stay fresh for up to 3 months y'all.
