Storing & Reheating

Pumpkin Fluff Dip can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Be sure to keep it in an airtight container to maintain its freshness. If you want to keep it longer, you can freeze it for up to 3 months. To thaw, simply transfer it to the fridge for a day before serving. When you’re ready to enjoy it again, give it a good stir—it may need a touch of rewhipping to get the texture back to its original fluffiness.
