Method for Storing
To keep your Krispy Kreme Peach Cobbler fresh and delicious, follow these storage tips:
Cooling:
Let Cool: Allow the cobbler to cool completely at room temperature before storing. This helps prevent condensation, which can make the cobbler soggy.

Individual Portions: For easier storage, consider cutting the cobbler into individual servings and placing them in separate containers.

Refrigeration: The cobbler can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. Make sure to consume it within this time for the best flavor and texture.
Freezing: For longer storage, you can freeze the cobbler.
Cool Completely: Ensure the cobbler is completely cooled before freezing.
Wrap Tightly: Wrap the cobbler in plastic wrap and then in aluminum foil, or place it in a freezer-safe container.
Storage Time: Frozen Krispy Kreme Peach Cobbler can last for 2-3 months.
Reheating:
Thawing: When you’re ready to enjoy the frozen cobbler, thaw it in the refrigerator overnight or at room temperature for a few hours.

Reheat for about 20-25 minutes, or until warmed through.
