To serve, allow the cheesecake to thaw if frozen, or simply remove it from its packaging if refrigerated. For best results, let it sit at room temperature for about 15-20 minutes before slicing. Use a sharp knife dipped in hot water and wiped dry between cuts for clean slices. It can be served plain, with fresh berries, a drizzle of chocolate sauce, or a dollop of whipped cream. It is ready to eat as is.

How to keep the rest
