Notes
Room temperature: Store in an airtight container for 3–4 days. Balls will be soft at room temp.
Refrigerate: Keep chilled in an airtight container for 1 week–10 days. Allow to sit at room temp 5–10 minutes before eating if too firm.
Freezer: Freeze in an airtight container or freezer bag for up to 3 months. Chill balls first before transferring to prevent sticking.
