Tip

We have frozen the cheesecakes to set them as this makes it easier to remove the wrappers when serving for eating. Freezing gives them a slight ice cream texture so if that's something you would rather not have, simply chill in the fridge instead and serve on plates. You can make them up to 2 days ahead without the cream topping and keep covered in the freezer.
