Notes
What to do with leftovers
Seven minute frosting is best used immediately. However, if you end up with leftovers or want to prep it in advance, here’s what to do:- Room temperature: The frosting is safe to store at room temperature for up to a day since the sugar acts as a preservative. After that, it should be moved to the fridge.
- Fridge: Store leftover frosting in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Freezer: This recipe is not meant to be frozen as the texture will change too much once thawed.
