How to Freeze Custard
Equipment
- airtight container
- marker or pen
- freezer bags
- plastic wrap
Ingredients
- Custard homemade or store-bought
Instructions
- If you are using homemade custard, make sure that it is totally cooled before getting started.
- Portion the custard out into amounts that you will use when defrosted.
- Spoon the custard into a freezer bag or an airtight container.Note: to decrease air, use a container that is sized so that only a few inches of space will be left between the custard and the lid. Additionally, you can add a layer of plastic wrap over the custard.
- Seal up the package by putting the lid on the container. If using a freezer bag, push out all air before zipping it shut.Note: if using a freezer bag, once sealed, push the custard flat for easy storage.
- Grab a marker and put the date on the package. Then, place it into the freezer.
Notes
Portion it: make sure that you figure out how much you will need at each defrosting and divy it up in those sizes.
Fresh is the best: the fresher, the better so that you are freezing it at the maximum quality.
Minimize air: the less air touching the custard while in the freezer, the better. Choose a container that only leaves a few inches between the top of the custard and the lid. Add a layer of plastic wrap on top of the custard, if using a container. If using a freezer bag, press any air out of it before zipping it shut.
