Cheesecake

[OtherThings]

The instructions say it'll take 2 hours to defrost. I cannot possibly wait that long.

It's been out the freezer section of the supermarket for 20 minutes and no amount of staring at it is helping.

I want to eat it in time for Celebrity Gogglebox. How can I 'help' it defrost without ruining it?

Cut it up into slices. They’ll defrost faster than the whole cake would.

If it’s a gateaux, I have been known to eat from the outside in 😬

It's just a good frozen, hard to cut through the base though....

Cut it up into slices

Right, doing that right away.

Cut it into slices. The thinner the slice, the quicker it defrosts. Enjoy !

Defrost feature of oven?

It's lemon swirl, if that helps.

Slices: tick.

Pop it in the microwave on defrost. Keep checking it after 10secs to ensure it doesn't go hot. Practice with a slice you've hacked off.

I would fill a bowl with hot water, and put the plate on top. That will help speed it up.

Just eat it frozen OP

YOLO

Cut it into slices. The thinner the slice, the quicker it defrosts. Enjoy!

Also cutting it into slices gets rid of some of the calories.

Well, I hope it's nicer than the cheesecake I bought for this evening. Tesco finest, chocolate and salted caramel. More than half is the biscuit base, then the cheesecake bit, then a topping. So less than half is cheesecake. And the biscuit base is that really dark, almost black, and very dry kind. Horrid.

All good OP?
Let this be a lesson to you for future. Fail to prepare, prepare to fail 😉
Hope you enjoyed it!

Eat it frozen! Yummy!

Stick I knife in the middle and make a cheesecake ice lolly. Proper job.

We always used to eat cheesecake frozen when I was a kid. (Only works with the chocolate ones) it tastes so much better frozen!

Still can't get my gears round defrosted cheesecake. It's not the same!

It's possible to wait for them to defrost? Nah, you're kidding me.
