How long can mini cheesecakes sit out?

Mini cheesecakes should not sit at room temperature for more than 2 hours . Because they contain dairy and eggs, leaving them out longer increases the risk of spoilage. For best quality and food safety, refrigerate them promptly after serving.

How to tell when mini cheesecakes are done?

Mini cheesecakes are done when the centers look just set but still jiggle slightly when the pan is moved. Overbaking can cause cracks, while underbaking leaves them too soft. They will continue to firm up as they cool and chill in the fridge.

How long does crème brûlée cheesecake last?

Stored properly in the refrigerator, crème brûlée cheesecake minis last for about 4–5 days . For best texture, brûlée the sugar topping right before serving, as it can soften during storage.

How do you store mini cheesecakes in the fridge?

Allow the cheesecakes to cool completely, then place them in an airtight container. If stacking, use parchment paper between layers to prevent sticking. Keep refrigerated until ready to serve, and add the brûlée topping just before enjoying.
