How to Store and Freeze Philadelphia Oreo Cheesecake

Philadelphia Oreo cheesecake is meant to be refrigerated. This makes storing leftovers easy.

Simply cover them with plastic wrap and return them to the refrigerator. They should stay fresh for 5 to 7 days.

If you don’t think you can eat all of it by then, you can freeze the leftovers.

To freeze the cheesecake, place it in the freezer (uncovered) until it’s solid. Then, wrap it in plastic wrap and aluminum foil before placing it in a freezer bag.

Finally, freeze for up to 3 months.

You don’t need to reheat the leftovers when you want to eat them. Instead, remove the packaging, thaw in the refrigerator overnight, and enjoy!

Tips and Tricks for Philadelphia Oreo Cheesecake

Here are some final tips before you dive into this delicious treat:

• Get the right amount of Oreos. You’ll need 45 cookies, which is an 18-ounce (family-size) package.

• Use room temperature ingredients. This is more of a general cooking tip than one for this recipe alone. But starting with soft ingredients will make your life much easier.

• One key thing to remember with cheesecake is that you don’t want to overmix the batter. If you mix too aggressively or for too long, you’ll incorporate too much air into the cream cheese, leaving the finished cheesecake spongy rather than dense and creamy.

• Add whipped cream for extra indulgence. This cake is sweet and rich, but if it’s too tangy for your liking, serve it with fresh whipped cream on top.

• No food processor, no problem! Crush the Oreos with a rolling pin or a blender.

• Keep an eye on cracks. If you notice the cheesecake cracking in the oven, take it out. It’s done as needed. Alternatively, place a tray under the cheesecake with a bit of water. The steam should prevent it from cracking.

• If the cheesecake cracks, don’t stress! Simply cover the top with whipped cream and more Oreos. No one will know!

• Trust the jiggle and don’t overbake the cheesecake. While it may seem undercooked, I promise it will continue to cook on the counter. There should be a slight jiggle in the center, much like jelly. It will set in the fridge.

• Use your oven light and don’t peek. Opening the oven and letting in fresh air is terrible for a cheesecake. Trust yourself and trust your oven.

• If you must check, do so through the oven door with the oven light on. Only open the oven door if absolutely necessary.
