Title: freezing egg custard tart?
Post by: Sparkly on August 17, 2010, 16:01:47
I have just made an egg custard tart with blackberries in. Will it freeze? it is a basic egg custard with pastry case?

I have frozen ordinary egg custard tarts in the past

The base of the pastry was a little soggy when I defrosted them so I suggest that you take them out of the tin and put them on something absorbant, kitchen paper or a tea towel perhaps, to thaw.

I should have thought the custard would crack when thawed unless it's very rich in egg's /egg yolk. but then I wouldn't freeze it I would eat it.
Or you could make it mote like a cherry clafoutis with blueberry's instead of cherry's, just an idea, as there is more body to that to freeze.
