How long would a no-bake cheesecake last?
I have an excellent recipe for a no-bake cheesecake that my family has made hundreds of times over many decades. For the first time today I was asked how long it would keep in the fridge. It's never lasted long enough for it to be a question, so I didn't have an answer.
Main ingredients are cream cheese, eggs, whipping cream, butter, sugar, milk, and gelatin. The egg yolks, some sugar and milk are heated. The rest is not.
Any thoughts on how long it would last? Would freezing affect it in any way?

I wouldn't keep it more than 3 days, 5 at the most if I was desperate for some cheesecake. I agree with your statement though I have never had a no-bake cheesecake last more than a day in my family.
You could freeze it and I have tried with a piece, not a whole pie before and mine turned into cheesecake soup when I thawed it and tasted terrible. I am by no means an expert freezer of food though.

My grandmother makes the best no bake cheesecake without eggs, and she routinely freezes it and then thaws it in the fridge overnight without it losing its shape. Defrosting by microwave would NOT be recommended. I can't answer the storage time though because that's what I just googled!

As far as freezing it, you could also try cutting it into small squares and freezing them separately. Then you could serve frozen cheesecake -- possibly dipped in chocolate!

If properly wrap with plastic wrapper, and store below 30 degree F, it can last a month. But if without wrapper, it will start to crack and appear unfresh. Try not to store with meat in the freezer as cheese can absorb any ordour in the freezer.
