Sooji halwa with almonds is a delicious Indian semolina pudding, rich in ghee and sugar, often garnished with crunchy almonds. Proper storage is essential to maintain its delightful texture and prevent spoilage, ensuring you can enjoy this sweet treat for longer.
Storage Time
2-3 days in the refrigerator, up to 2 months in the freezer, or 1-2 days at room temperature.
Temperature
Keep refrigerated at 4°C (40°F) or below to maintain freshness and prevent bacterial growth.
Freezing
To freeze sooji halwa with almonds, allow it to cool completely. Portion the halwa into airtight, freezer-safe containers or bags, removing as much air as possible to prevent freezer burn. When ready to enjoy, thaw in the refrigerator overnight for the best texture. Note that freezing may slightly alter the texture, making it a bit more crumbly upon thawing, but the flavor will remain intact.
Signs of Spoilage
- Sour or fermented smell
- Visible mold growth
- Significant change in texture (excessively watery or hard)
- Discoloration or unusual spots
- Off or rancid taste
