Preparation

It was a very simple recipe to prep and then throw in the refrigerator and go about my activities and then come back. And refrigeration times don't need to be exact. If you're running late, it's okay that it stays in the refrigerator a little longer.
Storage
The cheesecake stores nicely in the refrigerator covered for a couple of days. Do not freeze.
