A vanilla custard tart is a delightful dessert featuring a sweet, creamy vanilla custard filling baked in a buttery, flaky pastry crust. This classic treat is best enjoyed fresh, but proper storage can extend its shelf life and maintain its delicious flavor.

Freezing
While freezing a vanilla custard tart is possible, it can affect the texture of the custard.

Be aware that the custard may become slightly watery after thawing.
