    Can You Freeze Sticky Toffee Pudding?

    Sticky toffee pudding will keep well, pack it snug, serve it soon. Check it on taste, defrosted, it keeps its date-dense sponge and accepts toffee sauce poured on after thawing, sticky toffee pudding holds about 2 months. Set custards are a delicate balance of eggs, dairy, and timing — freezing curdles that balance into a weeping, grainy version of itself. It repays the freezer best in winter dessert and dinner parties. Freeze the sponge and sauce separately — reheated together they turn to one uniform sweetness, but poured hot over a rewarmed pudding the contrast survives.

    Before it goes in

    1. Air sticky toffee pudding on the counter, pack it snug, arrange it separately.
    2. Freeze the cake and the sauce in separate containers — together the sponge goes sodden.
    3. Stamp it with the day, cut it before freezing, keep it below 40 °F.
    4. Store sticky toffee pudding at the back, eat it first, gauge it by texture.
