When you are ready to thaw your cheesecake, we recommend thawing in the refrigerator overnight. Keep the plastic on the cheesecake so it doesn’t absorb any odors in the fridge. You can also place cheesecake on the counter, and it will thaw in about 2 to 4 hours. It will depend on the size of the cheesecake, but you can always check it. Remove the foil while it is thawing.
