Serve

New York-style cheesecake is typically served chilled and can be garnished with toppings such as fresh fruit, whipped cream, or chocolate sauce.

To serve, remove the cheesecake from the springform pan by running a knife around the edge of the cake. Carefully release the springform pan and place the cheesecake on a serving plate.

You can slice the cheesecake with a sharp knife, wiping the knife clean with a damp cloth between slices to ensure neat cuts.

You can also garnish the cheesecake with fresh berries or fruit, drizzle with chocolate sauce or caramel sauce, or top with whipped cream before serving.

You can also serve individual portions by cutting the cheesecake into small pieces and arranging them on a platter.

It’s best to store leftover cheesecake in the refrigerator and consume it within 3-4 days.
