How to store & freeze

Storing Lemon Fluff Dessert is simple! Keep any leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to three days. It’s always best served fresh but can also be frozen for up to a month. Just be mindful to let it thaw in the fridge before serving to maintain the best texture.

Pro chef tips

  1. Chill your bowl: If you chill your mixing bowl before whipping the cream, it will whip faster and achieve better volume.
  2. Use fresh pineapples: Opt for fresh pineapple when possible for an even brighter flavor.
  3. Don’t overmix: When folding the whipped cream into the Jell-O mixture, be gentle. Overmixing can deflate the cream and make the dessert less fluffy.
