Storage Time
Enjoy your homemade custard trifle within 2–3 days when stored properly in the refrigerator. Due to its dairy and egg components, freezing is not recommended as it significantly impacts texture and quality.
Temperature
Always keep custard trifle refrigerated at a consistent temperature between 0–4°C (32–40°F) to inhibit bacterial growth and maintain freshness.
Signs of Spoilage
- A sour or off smell emanating from the dessert.
- Visible mold growth on any layer, especially the fruit or cake.
