How long is milk bar pie good for?

Refrigerate milk bar pie squares in an air-tight container, and they can last up to two weeks – but trust me, they won’t last that long!

These little pie squares are so delicious, I can guarantee you they’ll be gone within a day or two. They’re really that good!

Can you freeze milk bar pie squares?

Yes! You can freeze the bars overnight before serving, and then also freeze them to store instead of refrigerating.

This helps the filling become even denser for the pie squares. If storing in the freezer, use an air-tight container and freeze for up to three weeks.
