Indulge in the delightful richness of homemade or store-bought strawberry cheesecake. This decadent dessert, featuring a creamy cheese filling and a sweet strawberry topping, is best enjoyed fresh but can be stored to savor its deliciousness over several days.

Storage Time

3–4 days in the refrigerator, up to 1–2 months in the freezer for optimal quality.

Temperature

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

Freezing

Strawberry cheesecake freezes remarkably well, preserving its creamy texture and vibrant flavor. For best results, ensure the cheesecake is fully chilled before wrapping it tightly in several layers of plastic wrap, followed by a layer of aluminum foil or placing it in an airtight freezer-safe container. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator for the safest and most delicious result. While freezing is excellent for preserving the base and filling, the strawberry topping might become slightly more watery upon thawing, though still perfectly edible and flavorful.

Signs of Spoilage

• Visible mold growth on the surface or edges.
• An off, sour, or fermented smell.
• A slimy or sticky texture on the surface.
