Why We Love Frozen Raspberry Cheesecake Pie

Hot days call for cool treats, and what’s more refreshing than frozen fruity goodness? When the day is so hot you can barely hear yourself think, pull your frozen raspberry cheesecake pie out of the freezer and watch everyone’s crankiness melt away.

The adults can enjoy a raspberry Pink Champagne Float on the side, while the kids sip on some raspberry lemonade (just use our lemonade recipe and add some muddled raspberries!). This yummy dessert is light enough to be a refreshing midday snack, but substantial enough to satiate that post-dinner sweet tooth.

And guess what – you can make it ahead and have it ready to pull out of the freezer!

FAQs

How do I store this dessert?

Store it overnight if you’re going to serve it the next day or two, but beyond that, you’ll want to store it in the freezer. Cover it the best you can – ideally, you’d wrap it in plastic wrap and put it in a freezer bag. If you’re storing it for a while, allow it to freeze overnight and then cut it into segments to then return to the freezer in airtight containers.

Can I add a different fruit?

Yes, you sure can! Make a variation on this recipe by substituting another fruit like blueberry, strawberry, or cherry. Maybe even a combination of a couple if you’re brave! 🙂

How do I defrost a frozen cheesecake?

You can defrost your cheesecake by simply allowing it to rest in the fridge for a few hours (or overnight). I prefer to eat this cheesecake on the frostier side, so I only allow it to defrost for a few hours.
