German Custard

The nut paste can be prepared up to 2 days ahead and stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator. The complete custard should be made at least 4 hours before serving (or up to 2 days ahead) to allow proper chilling and flavor development.

Store the custard in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Press plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the custard to prevent a skin from forming. Do not freeze, as the texture will become grainy upon thawing.
