What to Serve with Your Cheesecake Jars
Main Dish
With the same care, choose your entrée. Your guests will not be in the mood for cheesecake after a lunch that is heavy on cream and butter.
Consider white fish, chicken breast, or grilled meats instead of salmon or pulled pork, and relatively plain herbed rice and vegetables instead of rich casseroles or scalloped potatoes.
Appetizers
Avoid using equally rich components in your appetizers if your meal will culminate with a cheesecake.
If you're hosting a party, opt for lighter options like marinated veggies instead of heavy or cheesy canapes.
Simple vinaigrettes, rather than thick ranch or blue cheese dressings, should be used to make salads that are light, crisp, and green.
Soups that are light and brothy rather than creamy or heavy are a good way to start the night.
Drinks
A slice of rich, decadent cheesecake goes perfectly with a cup of strong coffee or tea, creating the ideal moment of self-indulgence.

Cheesecake Jars FAQs
Can I make no-bake cheesecake in advance?
Yes. Best of all, cheesecakes can be made ahead of time, which means you'll have one less thing to worry about on the day of your party.
Cheesecakes can be covered and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Make a cheesecake ahead of time and freeze it for even more convenience.
Refrigerate whole cheesecakes overnight to defrost.
Can I store a warm cheesecake in the refrigerator?
No, Warm cheesecake should not be refrigerated immediately.
As the inside temperature of the refrigerator rises, placing the hot cheesecake in the fridge will be more harmful to the refrigerator than to the cake.
It's best to let the cheesecake cool completely before putting it in the fridge.
Is a watery cheesecake filling, okay?
No. One common issue with cheesecakes is that the cream cheese used adds too much moisture to the cake, causing it to become runny.
If you don't add anything to help offset the cream cheese's water content, the cake's texture will most likely be off.
Can cheesecake quickly chill?
Yes. Use a small fan to blow horizontally over the cheesecake in the refrigerator (covered of course).
As a result, the cool air will draw the heat away from the cheesecake.
It should reduce the cooling time by 30-40%, or about 4 hours on a 12-hour chill time.
Is it safe to put a cheesecake in the freezer to set?
No. It may be tempting to remove your cheesecake from the oven and immediately place it in the freezer to save a few steps.
It will not, however, set, and the consistency will be off. Allow your cheesecake to cool at room temperature after baking.
Then put it in the fridge until it's set.
