How long is oreo fluff good for?
If stored properly in an airtight container in the refrigerator, it is good for 3 to 5 days.
Why is my oreo fluff runny?
If your Oreo fluff dessert is runny, it is most likely that the pudding mix did not set up correctly. It is best to mix the pudding mix and cold milk first to let it set up before adding the remaining ingredients. On a side note, if your Oreo Fluff leftovers are runny when they weren’t originally, then someone most likely double dipped. The bacteria in saliva can break down ingredients over time.
