Storage Time
3–4 days in the refrigerator
Temperature
Keep refrigerated at or below 4°C (40°F) to ensure optimal freshness and food safety.
Freezing
While egg custard can be frozen, its delicate texture may be compromised upon thawing. For best results, freeze individual portions in airtight containers or freezer-safe bags. Thaw slowly in the refrigerator overnight before serving. Expect a slight change in texture, potentially becoming a bit more watery or grainy, but the flavor should remain largely intact.
Signs of Spoilage
- A sour or off smell emanating from the custard.
- Visible mold growth on the surface, often appearing as fuzzy or discolored patches.
- A curdled or separated texture, indicating the proteins have broken down.
