Kraft Kitchens Tips

Make Ahead

You can freeze Philadelphia cheesecakes for up to two months and still enjoy the creamy, heavenly taste. After cooling, cover tightly with plastic wrap, then with foil and freeze. Thaw cheesecake overnight, add the finishing touch and serve.

Size-Wise

Balance out your food intake throughout the day so that you can enjoy this sweet treat. Be mindful of serving size.

" Superb! I stirred in Caribian Banana Rum, toasted coconut, melted chocolate and topped with fresh bananas and toasted coconut before serving. Very Decadent!"
