Storage Tips to Keep Your Cheesecake Fresh
Store your cheesecake in the refrigerator, covered with plastic wrap or in an airtight container, for up to 3 days. If you’d like to prepare ahead, you can make the filling and crust separately and assemble just before serving. Avoid freezing, as it may alter the texture of the creamy filling.
Quick Recipe Variations to Mix It Up
Experiment with different flavors by swapping the vanilla extract for almond or lemon extract. Use chocolate graham crackers for a richer crust, or try crushed Oreos for a cookies-and-cream twist. For a festive touch, match the sprinkles to the season—think red and green for Christmas or pastels for Easter!
