How long does Cherry Fluff Salad last in the refrigerator?
Cherry Fluff Salad typically lasts for about 2-3 days when stored properly in the refrigerator. However, it’s important to note that the actual shelf life may vary depending on various factors, such as the freshness of the ingredients used, the storage conditions, and the recipe variations. To ensure the longest possible shelf life store in an airtight container.
Can I make Cherry Fluff Salad in advance?
Yes, the recipe actually tastes better the longer it is allowed to chill. However, I would not make it to far in advance as the marshmallows tend to get soggy after some time. I think an ideal would be 12-24 in advance at most.
Can I freeze Cherry Fluff Salad?
Because this recipe contains whipped cream and other perishable ingredients, which may not freeze well, it’s not recommended. It is likely freezing would change the texture, consistency, and flavor.
