Storage Tips
Refrigerator Storage:
You can store the prepared parfait in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. For best results, use an airtight glass or BPA-free plastic container to maintain freshness. If the parfait layers include granola or any toppings, store these separately in a small container to keep them from getting soggy. This way, you can add them just before eating for optimal texture.
Freezer Storage:
While it’s possible to freeze this parfait for longer storage, note that the texture may change slightly. To freeze, transfer the parfait to a freezer-safe, airtight container and freeze for up to 1 month. Allow it to thaw overnight in the refrigerator before serving.
Reheating and Serving:
No reheating is necessary! Once thawed, give the parfait a quick stir and add any fresh toppings you like before serving.
