How to Freeze Cheesecake

If you want to make the cheesecake and enjoy it later then freezing is your best option. A properly stored and frozen cheesecake is good for up to 3 months!

Once your cheesecake has chilled, move it to the freezer and let it freeze, uncovered, for about an hour.

Next you will want to remove the cheesecake from the bottom of the pan and place it on a round piece of cardboard cut to size.

Wrap your cheesecake tightly in plastic wrap before placing it in a large freezer bag or wrapping it in heavy duty aluminum foil.

Then freeze until ready to enjoy.

To defrost, leave it overnight in the refrigerator.

Equipment needed to make Instant Pot Cheesecakes

Springform Pan – You need a 6 or 7-inch Springform pan for a 6 quart instant pot. I use the official 7.5″ Instant Pot Springform pan.

Instant Pot Sling – This makes it so much easier to get the pan in and out of the instant pot than just using the trivet alone.

Instant Pot – I have the instant pot ultra, when I was shopping around I felt it was the best value.

Stand Mixer – A stand mixer will save your arms, its the best and fastest way to get the best results.
