Notes

  • Make-Ahead Tip: Prepare the cheesecake the night before for best results. This allows it to fully set and enhances the flavor.
  • Topping Ideas: Add fresh seasonal fruits, crushed cookies, whipped cream, or even a drizzle of salted caramel for a personalized touch.
  • Storage Tips: Store leftover cheesecake in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
  • Freezing Option: Wrap slices individually in plastic wrap and foil to freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw in the refrigerator before serving.
  • Pro Tip: Let the cheesecake sit at room temperature for 10–15 minutes before serving for the creamiest texture.
