Freezing plain cheesecake is the perfect way to preserve your dessert if done properly. However, freezing Cheesecake with toppings and chocolate can be a bit of a challenge. But that's ok. We will give you step by step instructions on how to preserve the freshness and the beauty of both a traditional and a decorated cheesecake. 

• Plain Cheesecake -  Place plastic wrap around your refrigerated cheesecake about 3 times. The next step is to wrap with aluminum foil two times. Then, store the wrapped cheesecake in a gallon size freezer bag. This should keep it preserved for about 3 weeks in the freezer.
• Decorated Cheesecake - Follow the same prodecure as the plain cheesecake except you will want to freeze it first without a wrapping. This will help keep the decorations in tact. Please be aware that freezing cheesecakes with chocolate shavings will cause the chocolate to bloom. But thats ok, because tiny chocolate shavings generally have a light discoloration anyway.

Slicing a perfect piece of cheesecake isn't as difficult as you may think. Just follow my instructions and you will be able to do it too.

If your cheesecake is frozen, thaw it half way. If it isn't frozen, freeze it half way. Your cake should be firm, but still able to cut through.

Take a long sharp slicing knife, (Ideally, the knife should be as long or longer that the cheesecake.) and a HOT moist towel. When slicing, make sure that your knife is clean and hot during each slice. And slice downwards and out. Never raise your knife up and out of the cake. This will pull the cheesecake up and make it look messy. So in short, your steps are

1) Wipe with a hot towel

2) Slice downwards

3) Pull out horizontally

4) Wipe and start again.
