Notes
These cheesecakes freeze extremely well. I recommend freezing the cheesecakes without the toppings and caramel and chocolate syrup.
To freeze, place them in an airtight container, and make sure they are laid evenly in the freezer, not at a slant.
They will be good in the freezer for about 2 weeks.
To thaw, place them in the fridge for about 12-24 hours. You will then want to top them with the caramel sauce, chocolate sauce, and nuts.
We do not recommend freezing them with the toppings. They just won’t look as great, or have as good of a texture.
