Storage Time
Enjoy your crème brûlée within 3–4 days when stored properly in the refrigerator. Freezing is not recommended as it significantly impacts the delicate custard texture and the crisp sugar topping.
Temperature
Always keep crème brûlée refrigerated at or below 4°C (40°F) to maintain its freshness and prevent bacterial growth.
Signs of Spoilage
- A sour or off smell emanating from the custard.
- Visible mold growth on the surface of the custard or sugar crust.
- A slimy or watery texture, indicating the custard has broken down.
