How To Store Smooth and Creamy Cherry Fluff Salad
Best Way To Store Cherry Fluff Leftover
Store it in an airtight container. When storing it in the fridge, you’ll want to give it a good fold-over a few times just to distribute the moisture that has usually gone to the top.
After being stored for a few days, the marshmallows will absorb the liquid and soften, so don’t be alarmed if this happens.
It’s normal and results in a bolder flavor.
How Long Will Smooth and Creamy Cherry Fluff Salad Last In the Fridge?
It is best to consume this for about two days since the marshmallow tends to absorb the liquid, which softens its texture.
Be sure to cover your salad with plastic wrap when storing it in the fridge so it doesn’t dry out. Store for up to a week. Do not freeze.
