To store in the fridge:
Place the cooled cheesecakes on a plate or in an airtight container and cover with plastic wrap or a lid.
To store in the freezer:
Wrap each cooled cheesecake individually in plastic wrap and place them all in an airtight container or freezer bag. Label and date the container or bag, then place it in the freezer.
When you’re ready to eat a frozen cheesecake, thaw it overnight in the fridge.
About the Ingredients for Mini Chocolate Chip Cheesecakes
Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough – We used a pre-made roll of chocolate chip cookie dough but you could make your own dough using your favourite chocolate chip cookie recipe!
Cream cheese – Use full fat, brick cream cheese softened to room temperature.
Sugar – Just plain old granulated sugar.
Egg – You want to start with a room temperature egg for the cheesecake filling.
Vanilla extract – Adds a nice punch of flavour to the cheesecake. Pure vanilla extract will give the best flavour, but artificial works fine too.
Chocolate chips – I think semi-sweet chocolate chips works best, but feel free to use milk chocolate chips or dark chocolate chips.
