Notes
To keep your Pumpkin Dessert fresh, store it in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days. If you want to keep it longer, you can refrigerate it for up to a week. For even longer storage, you can freeze pieces in plastic wrap and place them in a freezer-safe container. Avoid overmixing to prevent a dense texture.
