Notes
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, warm in a saucepan over medium heat with a splash of milk or water, stirring until smooth, or heat in the microwave in 30-second increments, stirring after each.
To freeze, portion into single servings and freeze for up to 2 months. Thaw in the fridge overnight before reheating.
