How to store Pumpkin Pie Donuts

If you have filled your donuts and (by some miracle) have more left over, keep the donuts refrigerated and tightly covered in plastic wrap or stored in an airtight container to prevent them from drying out. Since these donuts contain a custard filling they need to be refrigerated. 

If you have not filled your donuts and are prepping these for later, store the unpiped donut in an airtight container at room temperature and the custard in the refrigerator. Pipe the donuts when they are ready to be served.
