[Sca-cooks] Freezing a White Torta (Cheese Tort)

[April Page]

Kean:
   
  Both Gunthar and I have seen tortas frozen prior to feast and defrosted without any problems here in Ansteorra within the last year.  Keep in mind that these were small mini-pan sized tortas, but they kept their almost cheesecake consistency quite well and the pastry held up just fine.

  Johnna,
I thought the same thing myself, unfortunately, we haven't the time 
to experiment before the event. We're either going to have to make them 
now or the day before the event. I'm hoping someone on the list here has 
tried the recipe and tried freezing it. I'm inclined to think that it 
would be ok, as the recipe seems to be half way between a custard and a 
cheesecake (which is really a form of custard anyway) and both can 
generally be frozen without incident. We would have frozen some of the 
taste test run, but our shire members pretty much licked the pie plate 
clean when we brought to A&S last week!
