Storage Time
3–4 days in the refrigerator, up to 2–3 months in the freezer.
Temperature
Store refrigerated pumpkin pie at or below 4°C (40°F).
Freezing
Homemade pumpkin pie freezes beautifully! Allow the pie to cool completely. Wrap it tightly in plastic wrap, then in aluminum foil, or place it in an airtight freezer-safe container. To thaw, transfer the frozen pie to the refrigerator overnight. For best quality, consume within 2-3 months. Freezing may slightly alter the texture of the crust, making it a bit softer upon thawing.
Signs of Spoilage
- Visible mold growth on the surface or edges.
- A sour or off odor, distinct from the usual spices.
- A slimy or sticky texture on the filling or crust.
