Answer 2

Freezing Cheesecake

Prepare cheesecake as directed, omitting any topping added after baking. Cool completely. Wrap cheesecake tightly in plastic wrap, then wrap again with aluminum foil. Freeze up to 2 months. When ready to serve, thaw wrapped cheesecake in refrigerator overnight.
Cheesecake may be cut into individual slices prior to freezing. Place unwrapped slices on parchment paper or wax paper-lined tray in freezer until surface is frozen. Wrap slices tightly with plastic wrap, then wrap again with foil. When ready to serve, microwave individual slices on DEFROST (30%) for 45 sec. to 1 min. Let stand 5 minutes before serving.

Yes - you can freeze cheesecakes. I do it all the time. I have frozen them over a month and they were great! This is the wonderful thing about cheesecakes, is that you can freeze them ahead and use later. Freezing for more than a month is not recommended to retain the best quality.
Cool the cheesecake completely before freezing.

To use bottom of springform pan - Remove the outer rim (sides) of the springform pan, leaving the cheesecake sitting on the bottom of the pan. I then wrap each cheesecake (with the bottom of the pan) with several layers of plastic wrap and then a layer over the outside with aluminum foil.

To use a cardboard bottom - After the cheesecake is completely cooled, use a knife to separate the cheesecake from the pan bottom. Slide it onto a foil-wrapped piece of heavy cardboard. Then wrap each cheesecake (with the bottom of the pan) with several layers of plastic wrap and then a layer over the outside with aluminum foil.

For a cheesecake with topping, such as fruit, always freeze cheesecake WITHOUT the topping and add the topping before serving.

Always thaw a cheesecake overnight in the refrigerator. When partially thawed, transfer it from the cardboard or springform bottom to a serving plate.
