Tips for storing Strawberry Cheesecake to extend shelf life

Accepted Answer

• Always keep your strawberry cheesecake refrigerated.

• To ensure freshness, store the cheesecake in an air-tight container or tightly wrap it in foil or plastic wrap to prevent it from absorbing odors from other foods.
