How To Store Chocolate Chip Cheesecakes
You can store your cheesecakes in an airtight container in the fridge. They will store for around 4-7 days. If you prefer cheesecake at room temperature feel free to let them sit on the counter for 30 minutes to an hour before you enjoy.
Just don’t allow the cheesecake to set out for more than two hours at a time or you could run the risk of bacteria growing at a rapid pace. If you need it out longer, place in the fridge before the two-hour mark and allow it to chill for up to thirty minutes.
What Are The Best Chocolate Chips To Use
You can reach for regular-sized chocolate chips or mini. Milk, semi-sweet, or even dark are all welcome. Just make sure whatever you choose you enjoy the flavor of the chocolate. As it stands out in the cheesecake recipe.
