How do you keep creme brulee fresh?

1. Refrigerate the crème brûlée immediately after it has cooled. Cover the dishes with plastic wrap or aluminum foil to prevent a skin from forming on the surface.

2. Crème brûlée can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

3. To serve the crème brûlée, it is best to let it sit at room temperature for about an hour before serving. This will allow the custard to soften slightly and the sugar to become crisper.

4. You can also freeze crème brûlée for up to 2 months. To freeze, place the dishes of crème brûlée in the freezer, uncovered, for about an hour. Then, cover the dishes with plastic wrap or aluminum foil and place them back in the freezer.

5. When you are ready to serve the frozen crème brûlée, let it thaw in the refrigerator overnight. Then, let it sit at room temperature for about an hour before serving.

6. To reheat frozen crème brûlée, you can place the dishes in a preheated 350 degree F oven for about 10 minutes, or until the custard is heated through.

7. You can also reheat frozen crème brûlée in a microwave oven, on the defrost setting, for about 1 minute per dish.
