I've always read that home made custard shouldn't be frozen because it can separate. I personally wouldn't take the chance. As for the log I would myself make the whole cake and freeze it in a plastic box and defrost in the fridge overnight.
birds type custard or real custard made with eggs? Actually I think both would split when thawed. It won't kill you but it will look yuck and have a nasty texture. At what stage are you thinking of freezing the log? If you fill it with whipped cream or butter cream you could freeze it but I wouldn't freeze it unfilled whether rolled up or flat.
Okay. Thanks guys. I know Eleena, I
Was just trying to get super organized this Christmas. Would younfreeze the
Choc log dunnitall ? Including the choc ganash?
Personally I would but it's an individual choice, what some think are ok for them, might not be for others. For your peace of mind google the question of gnash to see what it says then you can decide from that. Good luck.
Apologizes girls. I have just taken out my recipe for the choc log, it is chocolate buttercream, not ganache, and apparently is freezeable. So have made the log, rolled it up in grease proof paper, film and foil, made the choc buttercream and into the freezer they go. Gosh I am getting ahead this year. Red cabbage is also in the freezer and later on this week I will make the stuffing. I do feel pleased with myself :)
