What Exactly IS a Potluck Cheesecake Dessert?
I recently pulled out an old school cookbook from my cabinet…the kind that was a school fundraiser where all the moms submitted their favorite recipes and they were all printed in a book. Aren’t those the best? Everyone’s signature recipes all combined into one neat little book…a treasure trove of lost desserts from my childhood. And this Potluck Cheesecake Recipe came straight from one of these books It has a thick Nilla Wafer crust..buttery and delicious…and it’s topped with a creamy, yet surprisingly light layer of cream cheese, crushed pineapple and Cool Whip. It’s one of those desserts that you could eat 17 slices of and never be full…because you just need ONE MORE BITE.

Can You make This Cheesecake In Advance?
Yes, absolutely! If you’re serving this for a party, this recipe is a great way to get your dessert made ahead of time. The longer it chills, the better it will be! you can even just make the crust the day ahead, cover it and store it at room temperature. make the filling the day you’re going to serve it if you would like, just make sure you allow at least 3 hours of chill time.

Indeed you can! Make sure to cover it airtight before popping it in the freezer for up to 30 days. You can even enjoy this dessert recipe frozen if you would like!
How To Thaw Cheesecake
The best way to thaw cheesecake out if you freeze it, is in the refrigerator. This will take a few hours at least, but it’s the best way. I don’t recommend thawing this at room temperature, as it won’t thaw evenly.
