A Heaping Scoop: Freezing Cheesecake

Do you freeze cheesecakes? Are there do’s and don’ts for freezing them?

A Heaping Scoop: Freezing Cheesecake
In a Nutshell:

Crisp Salad with Cheese Dressing

I serve this unique salad on special occasions, either as an appetite-teasing first course or a tempting side dish. Combine 1 pkg shredded romaine lettuce, 1 thinly sliced red onion, a handful of grape or cherry tomatoes, and croutons for crunch. For the dressing, blend together 2½ slices Muenster cheese, 3 Tbsp Mehadrin cottage cheese, ¼ cup vinegar, 2/3 cup oil, 1 clove garlic, 2 tsp sugar, and 1 tsp salt. Pour over salad and top with croutons.

Yes, I do freeze cheesecakes. I try to chill them before freezing (they have to be totally cooled), and I wrap them very well. I find that the crust might sometimes get a bit soggy, so you can try to bake it a little extra so that it gets really crisp before filling it. Certain toppings (such as fruity toppings) don’t freeze so well, so I add them fresh.
