Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. The peaches may release some juice, so it's best to keep them separate from the topping if you plan to store them. Reheat in the microwave if desired, but be cautious not to overheat the Cool Whip as it may lose its texture.
