Not all no-bake cheesecakes are freeze-friendly. If your recipe uses fresh fruit on top, like sliced strawberries or a fruit sauce, remove it first. Frozen fruit turns into ice chunks that will make your cheesecake taste like a slushie gone wrong.
Also, if your cheesecake has a crumb crust made with butter, it can get a little soggy after thawing. To avoid this, freeze the cheesecake without the crust and add a fresh one later. Yes, that’s extra work, but your taste buds will thank you.
And please, don’t freeze a cheesecake that’s already been sitting out for hours. That’s a food safety ticket to regretville.
