I made this and I left it sit for a day & a 1/2 .. It didn't look right .. looked like it was separating .. tasted okay but the look of it not so good .. I'll try another recipe next time .. thanks though

I read this to mean that the filling can be stored in the fridge for later, but should be used within 2 days, not that you need to wait two days to use it.
