Serving and storage tips and tricks
If you’re struggling to cut into this no-bake casserole, then it might help to leave it out at room temperature for up to 30 minutes prior to slicing and serving. This dish should always be kept sealed and frozen, where it will stay fresh for anywhere from 2 weeks to 3 months. Just know that it will always hold up better if it’s kept in airtight containers rather than a pan that’s only protected by plastic wrap.
