Finishing
  1. Run a palette knife around the edge of the pan to ensure the cheesecake cake won’t stick.
  2. Unmold by dipping the pan into hot water, as you would a Jello mold; place a parchment circle on top and invert onto sheet pan or plate.
  3. Remove the crust parchment paper and flip back onto desired serving dish.
  4. Cut 12 portions using a hot knife, re-warming between each cut; serve as desired.

  • Serve with whipped cream and strawberries or your fruit of choice. Instead of refrigerating, the cheesecake can be frozen.
