Indulge in the rich, creamy delight of cheesecake cupcakes, a perfect miniature version of the classic dessert. These decadent treats, often featuring a graham cracker crust and a smooth cream cheese filling, are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored to maintain their delightful texture and flavor.

Storage Time

3–4 days in the refrigerator, up to 2 months in the freezer.

Temperature

Store refrigerated at or below 4°C (40°F).

Freezing

To freeze cheesecake cupcakes, ensure they are completely cooled. Wrap each individual cupcake tightly in plastic wrap, then place them in an airtight freezer-safe container or a heavy-duty freezer bag. This prevents freezer burn and preserves their delicate texture. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator for the best results. Avoid thawing at room temperature, as this can affect the texture and potentially lead to spoilage.

Signs of Spoilage

• A sour or off smell emanating from the cupcake.
• Visible mold growth, which can appear as fuzzy spots of various colors.
• A slimy or sticky texture on the surface of the cream cheese frosting or cake base.
