Winning at "Fridge Tetris" 🧊

One of the most common questions I get is: "How long will it last?"

• Keep it Boxed: To keep your cheesecake fresh and protected from other fridge smells (nobody wants a turkey-scented dessert!), keep it stored inside the box it came in.

• Shelf Life: Because I use fresh, premium ingredients, they are best enjoyed within 5 days of collection.

• The "Room Temp" Rule: For the best flavour, take the cheesecake out of the fridge about 20-30 minutes before serving. This allows the filling to soften slightly, making it creamier and releasing all those lovely flavours—especially for the Chocolate Orange and Baileys ones!

The Perfect Festive Pairings 🥂

Christmas is the time to indulge, so why not match your glass to your fork? Here are my top recommendations for what to drink with your dessert:

• For the Mince Pie Cheesecake: This rich, spiced flavour loves a warm companion. Try it with a glass of mulled wine or a cheeky sherry. The spices in the drink will hug the spices in the cheesecake perfectly.

• For the Chocolate Orange: The richness of chocolate needs something to cut through it. A strong black coffee or an Espresso Martini works wonders here.

• For the Baileys or Vanilla: You can’t go wrong with fizz. A glass of Prosecco or Champagne adds a sparkle that lifts the rich, creamy texture of the cheesecake.

• After Eight Mint: This is the ultimate dinner party finish. It pairs surprisingly well with a full-bodied Red Wine (like a Cabernet Sauvignon), or for a non-alcoholic option, a fresh Peppermint Tea creates a lovely cooling palate cleanser.

• Ferrero Rocher: Embrace the nuttiness! Serve this with a Hazelnut Liqueur over ice, or a creamy Latte. The coffee notes balance the sweetness of the hazelnut chocolate beautifully.

• Pigs in Blankets: Since this is our savoury beast, put down the dessert wine! This needs a cold pint of Pale Ale or a crisp Apple Cider to cut through the rich cheese and bacon.

Timing & Portions: When to Serve? 🕒

• Cheesecake is incredibly versatile, and how you serve it depends on the occasion:

• The Main Event (Christmas Day Pudding): If this is your showstopper after the turkey, be generous! Serve a full wedge with a little pouring cream on the side.

• The Boxing Day Buffet: If you are grazing on leftovers or hosting a party, people often prefer "a little bit of everything." Try cutting your slices in half again to create "mini" wedges. It allows guests to have a sweet treat without committing to a full dessert.

• The "Coffee & Cake" Moment: Don't forget the quiet moments. A thin slice with a cup of tea on Christmas Eve (while wrapping the last presents!) is one of my favourite traditions.

The Secret to the Perfect Slice 🔪

• Ever wondered how to get those clean, professional-looking slices without the filling sticking to the knife?

• The Hot Knife Trick: Fill a jug with hot water. Dip your sharpest knife in, wipe it dry with a paper towel, and then make your cut.

• Repeat: Wipe and dip the knife again between every single slice. It sounds like a faff, but trust me, it makes a huge difference to the presentation!

Can I Freeze It? ❄️

Got leftovers? (It’s rare, I know, but it happens!)

• Freezing: Yes! Most of our baked cheesecakes freeze beautifully for up to 1 month.

• How to Store: Keep the cheesecake in the box to protect it while in the freezer.

• Defrosting: When you are ready for a treat, accuracy is key. Take the cheesecake out the day before needed and place it in the fridge to defrost naturally. This ensures the texture remains perfect.
