What desserts can be frozen: sharing a secret

Lisa GlinskaLS Food

I once told you how to freeze sponge cakes. Today I want to share my little secret (although it may not be a secret for everyone) - ready-made desserts can also be frozen. And sometimes it is even necessary - for example, mousse cakes.

Here is the text in the original language

It often happens that you don't have enough time to make elaborate cakes. Or another problem - suddenly you have a few extra pieces of dessert... don't throw them away, right? There is a brilliant solution: the freezer. It will save time and preserve desserts.

I'll tell you what and how to freeze and how to defrost.

What to freeze

- sponge/mousse desserts

- desserts made of shortcrust pastry

- puff pastry

- choux pastry (can be frozen before baking or after)

- pasta

- yeast pastries.

How to freeze

  • Freeze only when the dessert has cooled completely.
  • Before freezing, wrap tightly with cling film, in several layers, to prevent air from entering. Desserts such as macarons can be placed in a container with a tight-fitting lid.
  • You can store desserts in the freezer for no more than 1-3 months, depending on the composition of the dessert.

How to defrost

  • Always defrost in the refrigerator to ensure slow defrosting.
  • If the dessert has already been thawed, do not defrost it again.
