Storage

To keep your Lemon Lush pie fresh and delicious, store it in the refrigerator covered with plastic wrap or aluminum foil. It will remain tasty for up to 3-4 days. If you need to keep it longer, you can freeze individual slices for up to 1 month; just be sure to wrap them tightly to prevent freezer burn.

Top Tip For No-Bake Lemon Lush

If you don’t have pecan meal or pecan flour, you can easily make your own. You can add whole pecans to a food processor or blender and pulse them until you have a sandy texture. In addition, because of the high content of oil in pecans, the best way to ensure they stay the freshest is by keeping them stored in the freezer. This will prevent the oils in them from going bad.
