Cheesecake generally lasts in the fridge for about 3 to 7 days, depending on whether it is homemade or store-bought and how it is stored. Proper storage in an airtight container helps maintain freshness for 3 to 4 days comfortably, with some sources extending that to up to 7 days for bakery or commercially- made cheesecakes. Beyond this period, it is safer to discard it to avoid risks from bacteria. If refrigerated immediately after serving and kept sealed, cheesecake retains its best flavor and texture within those first few days. Cheesecake left out at room temperature should not be consumed after 2 hours due to rapid bacterial growth. For longer storage, cheesecakes can be safely frozen for 1 to 3 months with proper wrapping to avoid freezer burn.
