- Preserving: Cheesecakes can spoil relatively easily, hence, you need to be careful. Keeping the cheesecake at room temperature for several minutes will increase the rate of spoilage. It's more ideal to make small batches than large ones since you will able to finish it. Peradventure there is a need for storage, a fridge should be used, however, put them in an airtight.
