Frequently Asked Quetsions:

Do You Need To Chill Your Cheesecake Before Serving?

Yes, absolutely, it needs to be refrigerated from 12 to 24 hours. This really helps it to firm up. And become a cheesecake. Without refrigeration, it will be soft.

Just cover the cheesecake with plastic wrap and place it flat in the refrigerator. Chill for 12 to 24 hours before serving.

Can You Freeze Instant Pot Cheesecake

Yes, this is a great dessert to make ahead of time. To prepare it for freezing, simply let it refrigerator until set, as called by the above directions. And then once it’s firm, cover with saran wrap and then place into a freezer bag. Make sure it’s completely sealed.

Frozen Cheesecake will last about 1 to 2 months.

To use frozen, place the frozen cheesecake into the refrigerator overnight and then serve as normal.
