      Notes

      How to store the Tiramisu Cheesecake

      Wrap it tightly still in the pan with plastic wrap or place in an airtight container. It will keep for 4-5 days in the refrigerator.
      It can also be frozen, I would freeze the cake without the topping, that can be added before serving. Be sure to let the cake set first, then wrap the pan tightly in plastic wrap, place it in a freezer safe bag or container before freezing. It will keep for up to three months if properly stored in the freezer. To thaw the frozen cake, place it still wrapped in the fridge and let it thaw overnight.
