Make custard the day before?

[QuimReaper]

I never make custard on the fly, always make it earlier, cover the jug with cling film and reheat it by standing the jug in a pan of warm water, which has always worked well for me. However, I have never (to my recollection) made custard the day before. I don't know why a few hours in the fridge and reheated should be any different to 24+hrs, but I wondered if anyone else habitually does this?

I do this!

Put cling film on the top of the custard to stop the skin forming and it’s fine in the fridge the day before

Oh thanks P1nk! I thought it would be fine but nobody wants to risk a Christmas Day disaster. Do you reheat it the same way as I do?

Custard does freeze well, too.

I reheat in a saucepan when needed, as my family like custard hot and a jug of water wouldn’t cut it for them temperature wise

Oooh, I'm always worried about it splitting if you freeze it Sand, and also if you saucepan it P1ink! It's never split on you? Might have a dry run today...

I’ve never frozen my own as I rarely make it but do buy 6packs and freeze them for do. They defrost just fine.
