    Storage Tips

    After enjoying my delicious pumpkin nacho dip, I want to make sure it stays fresh for next time. Here’s how I do it! πŸŽƒ

    Refrigerator Storage

    I always let the dip cool first. After that, I store it in an airtight container and pop it in the fridge. It usually stays good for up to 3-4 days.

    Freezing the Dip

    If I want to keep it longer, I scoop the dip into a freezer-safe container.

    I leave a little space at the top, so it doesn’t expand too much.

    It can last in the freezer for up to 2 months. 🧊

    Label and Date

    I like to write the label and date on the container, so I know how fresh my dip is. ✍️

    Thawing and Reheating

    When I’m ready to eat, I transfer the dip from the freezer to the fridge to thaw overnight.

    Then, I warm it up in the microwave or on the stove. Stirring helps bring back that creamy texture! πŸ”₯

    With these tips, every bite tastes as good as the first! 🍽️
