How Long Will Orange Creamsicle Truffles Last?

These truffles will last a week if stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator. These truffles can also be frozen, and will taste best if eaten within about a month.

I like to let truffles warm up on the counter for a few minutes before serving after being in the fridge or freezer, then enjoy!
