Can You Freeze Cheesecake?
Can You Freeze Cheesecake? You can freeze cheesecake. Just place in freezer approved container and store for 3-4 months. Then when you want one or more, remove and allow them to thaw in the fridge for a few hours. Or an hour on the counter will be a quicker thaw.
In terms of containers, I love these Zilpoo containers. They fit cupcakes but you can also do items like cookies, brownies, etc. So feel free to try it out. Or if you have items already that work, go ahead and use that.
How to Get Colored Cheesecake?
You will want to use gel food coloring to color your cheesecake. I find that using Wilton gel helps to add vibrant colors to the cheesecake without altering the flavor of the cheesecake like some food colorings might.
Does This Recipe Double?
Does This Recipe Double? You are more than welcome to double the recipe if you would like. Just batch cook your cheesecakes if they don’t all fit in the oven at one time. Then allow the cupcakes to cool, and then enjoy.
