Can I Make A Cherry Strudel Ahead Of Time?
A strudel tastes best freshly baked although you could assemble and store in the fridge for a few hours before baking.How To Store Leftovers?
Cool completely to room temperature then store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to four days.Can I Freeze This Creamy Cherry Strudel?
Unfortunately not. The pastry cream in this strudel does not freeze well and will change texture upon thawing. If you use cream cheese or ricotta, you can freeze it whole or in slices.Nutrition
