Notes
NotesHow long will this vegan gluten-free cheesecake keep for?Your cheesecake will last for about a week in the refrigerator. Make sure to cover so odors from the refrigerator don’t seep in and the cake doesn’t dry out.Can I freeze? This cheesecake is perfect for making in advance and freezing for later. Wrap well before freezing and thaw overnight in the refrigerator before serving. We’ve frozen up to a month in advance.
