How to Store Blueberry Fluff

Can you Freeze Fruit Fluff Salad?

While you can freeze this fluff, the texture does have a tendency to change when it’s thawed. The whipped topping can begin to separate, and it won’t be quite as appealing as when it is served fresh.

Can I Make this Fluff Salad in Advance?

Yes, you can make this dessert salad in advance up to a day before you want to serve it. Store it in the fridge until ready to serve.
