I've made a lemon cheesecake bar for the holidays. Without thinking I added the sour cream topping (mixture of sour cream and icing sugar). If I freeze this,then thaw it,will the sour cream separate and look gross? Or will it be fine. Ive done a bit of research and sour cream separates and doesn't have the same texture as before it was frozen, however, that's for using it as a topping for potatoes or something. Should I try to scrape it off? Or start over? Any advice would greatly be appreciated!

I think the sugar will hold it together. Are you going to slice it in advance? Can you slice. put a piece in the freezer now. Take it out later today and see what happens?

I'll try that!

will likely pool after it thaws (areas of clear sweet goo where it separated) There's nothing wrong with it taste wise, if you want to make it look pretty of that happens I lightly dust with icing sugar & a bit of cornstarch then it gets a powder doughnut type look but absorbs the clear goo.

You shouldn't have any problem freezing it as is just lay a paper towel on top of it when you bring it out of the freezer. change it as needed it because the sour cream will weep a bit but you shouldn't notice any noticeable change in the look of the you slice. good luck

is it freezable? Co-op had it on 2fer and I don't really need them both right away.
