- With springform pan: When freezing, cover the cheesecake with plastic wrap, and then the other layer covered with aluminum foil.
- Without springform pan: When completely cooled, remove the cheesecake into the springform pan using a serrated knife then transfer to cardboard or plate.
Note: Do not put it in the freezer with the toppings. Only place it when you are ready to serve.
