Cheesecake Tips
- Make your cheesecake the day before you actually need it. Cheesecake needs to cool in the refrigerator before serving. This helps it set up and also helps the flavors come together. It needs to chill for at least 4 hours before serving.
- When using a spring form pan, be sure that the side is properly fastened and the bottom is securely in place. You don’t want your batter to run out all over your oven! Covering the sides and bottoms of the pan with foil helps prevent this too.
- Don’t over swirl your raspberry sauce. You don’t want it totally mixed into the cheesecake mixture.
- Water bath: as I mentioned above I have made a cheesecake with and without and have had it crack with a water bath and had it not crack without a waterbath so I usually don’t use one. I figure if there are cracks, I can just cover them up with whipped cream!
Frequently Asked Questions
How should I store cheesecake
Cheesecake will keep in the refrigerator for up to a week, just cover it with foil to keep it from drying out on top.
Can I freeze cheesecake?
Cheesecake freezes really well. I like to cut individual slices before freezing. Wrap it tightly in foil and put it in an air tight freezer bag. It will keep for up to 3 months.
To thaw, just let it sit in your refrigerator for 6-7 hours.

Brandi says
Even if I don’t have room for dessert, we always get something to go because it’s kind of a trek for us to get there, BUT my husband loves the Tiramisu (not the cheesecake one), my daughter likes the red velvet cheesecake and I always get the turtle cheesecake (amazing!). 🙂

Leigh Anne,
I actually don’t eat cheesecake when I go to Cheesecake Factory because I LOVE the Miso Salmon and have to have it every time I go and then I have no room let for dessert. So my recommendation is to try the Miso Salmon.
