Storage Tips

To maintain the freshness and flavor of your cheesecake:

  • Refrigeration: Keep it stored in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
  • Freezing: Wrap the cheesecake tightly in plastic wrap, then in aluminum foil before freezing for up to 3 months. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight before serving.

Reheating Instructions

If you prefer your cheesecake slightly warm:

  1. Preheat the oven to 150°C (300°F).
  2. Place a slice on a dish and loosely cover it with aluminum foil.
  3. Heat for 10-15 minutes, or until warm.

Note

  • Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature for the best texture and mixing.
  • To prevent cracks, avoid over-mixing the batter and do not open the oven door during baking.
  • For a smooth ganache, ensure the white chocolate is fully melted and mixed well with the Baileys and cream.
  • If you don't have a double boiler for the ganache, you can melt the chocolate mixture in a microwave in short bursts, stirring frequently to prevent burning.
  • For a lighter whipped cream, use cold equipment and ingredients to help it whip faster and maintain stiffness.
