I agree. The cornstarch in the sauce may also break down and allow it to separate. You could freeze some of the sauce in one portion servings and try it though. Package them on top of your frozen cheesecake slices and you'll have one serving all ready to go! Sounds delicious! Deanna

Sooo....the "Italian Cheese" cake is exactly the same as the fluffy cheesecake with the addition of a pound of ricotta. I often make cheese cake for Easter.....and serve it with a choice of lemon curd and fresh strawberries. The cheesecake I make is a very traditional New York style cheese! Dense, cheesy....delicious! Like you find at high end restaurants.... Secret Lindy's-Style New York Cheesecake Cookie Pastry Crust 1/4 lb. (1 stick) unsalted butter, room temperature 1/4 c. sugar 1 egg 1 1/2 c. flour Beat the butter and sugar in a medium mixing bowl with electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2 mins. Add the egg and flour and mix until a smooth dough is formed. With your hands, shape it into a ball and flatten it into a disc. Wrap it in plastic wrap and refrigerate it until it's firm. Remove the sides from the springform pan and press one third of the pastry evenly over the bottom. Place on baking sheet and bake in 400F oven for 6 mins. or until golden. Remove from the oven and cool. Increase oven temperature to 500F. Butter the sides of the springform pan and attach it to the bottom. Press the remaining pastry about two thirds up the sides. Filling 5 8-oz. pkgs. cream cheese, room temperature 1 3/4 c. sugar 3 T. flour 2 t. lemon peel 1 1/2 t. orange peel 1/4 t. salt 1/4 t. vanilla 5 eggs plus 2 egg yolks, room temperature 1/4 c. sour cream Beat the cream cheese in a large mixing bowl with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth and fluffy, stopping to scrape down the sides of the bowl occasionally. Gradually add the sugar, flour, lemon and orange peel, salt and vanilla, beating constantly. Add eggs and yolks one at a time, beating well after each egg. Scrape the bowl one or two more times. Add in the sour cream; the mixture will be thin. Pour it into the pastry-lined springform pan. Put it together Place the pan on a baking sheet. Bake it in the oven at 500F for 8 mins. or until the top is golden. Reduce the oven temperature to 200F (don't open the oven!) and continue to bake it for 1 hour or until the center jiggles slightly. When finished cooking, shut off the open, prop the door open, and let the cheesecake sit in the oven for about 3 or 4 hrs. Once it's finished cooling, wrap it with plastic wrap and refrigerate it several hours or overnight. Serve it up! Remove the sides of the springform pan. Now you can add whatever glaze, ganache, or other spread you desire over the top of the cheesecake. Keep it refrigerated until serving time!

I agree, the soup will freeze just fine. After all, people freeze cheesecake, and that's OK. Cream cheese can be kind of "curdled" or crumbly after freezing, thawing in the refrigerator helps the texture sometimes, but it's still not like fresh. Melt the stuff, though, and it's fine. Annie

Never eaten them....but I would make cheesecake batter,3 half pound packages of cream sheese, 3/4 cup sugar and 4 eggs,1 tsp vanilla....beat well, pour into a greased 8 by 8 pan and bake at 350 in a bain marie until set, about 45 minutes....lay a pices of foil over the pan so it doesn't brown. Chill and cut into chimi sized strips. Wrap a strip into a tortilla and deep fry them. Linda C
