Divide into 8 dessert cups and refrigerate at least 1 hour.
Add fresh fruit just before serving or fruit compote.
The Perfect Make Ahead DessertIn fact, it is recommended to make this a few hours ahead of time. There is plenty of time to let the creamy mixture cool down and set. All that is needed for serving is clean and slice fresh berries or add a berry compote and you are ready to serve this dessert. The fruit can be prepared ahead of time too.In fact, I have had this last in the refrigerator up to three days. It would last five days, but we have always eaten every bit before the end of the three days. It is just so good.How Long with this stay freshStore covered or in an airtight container up to five days. It will last longer without the fruit topping than with. Sometimes the fruit will juice over the cream after it sits for a bit. Therefore, I store the fruit and Swedish Cream separately until I am ready to serve.Easy Dessert for Everyday and Special Occasions ~ Even Brunch Buffets
