❄️How to Store, Freeze, Defrost and Serve
Orange Custard Pudding is better to eat after refrigerating for at least 4 hours or until set. If you have any leftover:
Storing: Place the pudding in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 to 3 days, the whipped cream for up to 2 days, and the custard for up to 3 to 4 days.
Freezing: I don't recommend freezing the pudding. If you freeze the dessert, the pudding will change texture because of the ice crystals. When you thaw it, it won't look or taste as good. It is better to eat it when it is fresh. But you can freeze the pudding in an airtight container for up to 2 months.
Defrosting: Leave the pudding at room temperature for a few hours and then refrigerate.
Serving: Let set the Orange Custard Pudding for at least 4 hours in the fridge and serve it.
💭Tips for Making Orange Custard Pudding
Here are some tips to help you make the best Orange Custard Pudding:
Buy and Use the Freshest Orange: Choose a bright orangy orange with a nice sweet aroma that they are heavy and firm to hold, but also slightly soft when you squeeze them.
Don't Stop Whisking: Keep stirring without stopping, especially around the sides. This helps prevent the pudding from getting burnt.
Make Sure Your Pudding Stays Smooth: Put the hot pudding in a bowl that’s in a cold water bath. Stir it while it cools down to stop lumps from forming. After it’s cool, you can make it smooth again by stirring it really fast.
How to Get Rid of Lumps in the Custard Pudding: Push the custard through a mesh sieve using a spatula. This will get rid of small lumps and leave the big, bothersome ones in the basket.
Serving: Let set the Orange Custard Pudding for at least 4 hours in the fridge and serve it.
Following these tips, you can make a delicious and amazing Orange Custard Pudding. Your family and friends will love it!
