I have 11 white chocolate raspberry cheesecakes to do for Friday. I know the cheesecakes can be frozen but these will be covered in chocolate ganache. Does anybody know how ganache freezes?

These will also have chocolate triangles on them but they will be put on Saturday before wedding.

my experience with ganache tells me it would not freeze well but I have never tried... hope that someone can give us all the answer!

I usually just keep it in a airtight container in the fridge not freezer. When i need to use it, just take it out a few hours before. Tastes just fine.

Why not give it a try, thaw at room temp and tell us the results? The only thing I can think of is the chocolate seizing, but that has happened to me after freezing, and I just remelted the mixture, cooled to room temp and it was fine!

Sorry this is so late, i only just saw this post now. Ok for anyone that was wondering, i made a sample cake a few months ago, the ppl tried a bit and 3/4 of the cake was left behind. The cake was a mudcake, filled and covered with dark chocolate ganache. I had about 1 cup of ganache left over as well. I put that in a plastic container and froze it, i froze the cake well wrapped as well. It all froze fine and defrosted beautifully.
