Can I Freeze These No-Bake Cheesecake Bites?

Note that no-bake cheesecake does NOT freeze well. While you can technically freeze it, the texture will be quite off due to ice crystals forming.
If you do decide to freeze them, freeze for 2 hours on a cutting board first and then wrap each individual one in food wrap air-tight and then place them into a freezer zip-top bag or a freeze food storage container.
