I just made creme brulee with egg yolks, sugar, vanilla extract and 35% Milk Fat heavy whipping cream?

Question

HOW long can i store this uncooked mixture for? i have it in a stainless steel mixing bowl with saran wrap over it. i dont have enough ramekins to make the rest,so can it be stored in the fridge without it going bad or ruining my next batch of creme brulee?
its got 35% milk fat heavy whipping cream, egg yolks, sugar and vanilla extract in this mix.,

Answer 1

If it seperates you can just whip it, but I wouldn't keep it in the fridge too much longer than 3 or 4 days. And don't keep it in a metal bowl. Transfer the mixture to a plastic container or ceramic. A metal container will make it taste metallic.

Answer 2

2 Days max, due to the eggs. If it were cooked up to a week. I make it all of the time and some times run into that problem. If you do not have enough ramekins try using a glass cooking pan to cook the rest. You can get ramekins at Target for 1.50 a piece, or go to Linens N Things and buy the ramekins plus a torch for 15. (they also sell the ramekin by them selves in sets of four)

Answer 3

about 3 days

Answer 4

Milk and eggs are considered "delicate" foods and are easily spoiled after cracked or opened cartons. It is best to cooked right away, or freeze the mixture till you can use it again following the proper thawing procedures.

Answer 5

You can store it about three days before it starts to separate

Answer 6

Sorry - not for long!
