How long does no bake cherry cheesecake last in the fridge?

No bake cherry cheesecake can last up to 5 days when stored properly in the refrigerator. Keep it covered with plastic wrap or in an airtight container to maintain freshness and prevent the crust from becoming soggy.

Can I freeze no bake cherry cheesecake?

It’s not recommended to freeze no bake cherry cheesecake. Freezing can alter the creamy texture of the filling and make the crust soggy once thawed. For best results, refrigerate and consume within a few days.

What can I use instead of sweetened condensed milk?

If you're out of sweetened condensed milk or prefer a substitute, you can use a mix of heavy cream and sugar (thickened slightly) or sweetened condensed coconut milk for a dairy-free version. Keep in mind that substitutions may slightly alter the final texture and sweetness.
