- Storage Instructions:
- If you have any leftovers (although we doubt there will be any!), store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
- Due to the Cool Whip content, it’s important to keep any desserts frosted with this mixture refrigerated to maintain freshness and prevent spoilage.
- Properly stored, the frosting should last for several days in the refrigerator. However, for the best taste and texture, it’s recommended to use it within 2-3 days.
- Before serving leftover desserts, allow them to come to room temperature for a few minutes to soften the frosting slightly. This will ensure a smooth and creamy texture with every bite.
