Expiration & Storage Tips
When does Buttermilk Pie expire?
A homemade Buttermilk Pie will typically last for about 2 days at room temperature if covered with a foil or plastic wrap. If you put it in the refrigerator, it can last for around 4-6 days. As it's often served cold, this is an ideal option. If you want to freeze your homemade Buttermilk Pie, you can do. It can be stored in the freezer for up to 6-8 months.
How do you tell if Buttermilk Pie is bad?
You can tell if your Buttermilk Pie has gone bad if it starts to give off a sour smell. A funky odor or discoloration are clear signs of spoilage. Furthermore, if you notice mold, that's a definite toss-in-the-trash scenario. For pies that have been left out, if there are any insects or signs of pests, consider it unsafe.
Tips for storing Buttermilk Pie to extend shelf life
• Always cover your Buttermilk Pie if you want to store it at room temperature. A simple foil or wrap should suffice.
• For longer storage, consider putting it in your refrigerator. Just make sure it's well wrapped or stored in a pie keeper.
• For freezing, let the pie cool completely before wrapping tightly in several layers of plastic wrap and then a final layer of aluminum foil.
• To defrost, move it from the freezer into the refrigerator a day before you plan on serving it.
