It's a tricky one! The pastry cream can get weepy when thawed. Maybe freeze the cake layers unfrosted, then whip up fresh pastry cream later? That way you get the best of both worlds! Enjoy that Boston Cream Pie!

Freezing Boston Cream Pie can work, but it might affect the texture a bit. I usually slice it into portions, wrap each in plastic wrap, then put them in an airtight container. Thaw in the fridge for a few hours before serving. It's not as good as fresh, but it's still pretty tasty.

For my own experience, freezing Boston Cream Pie is generally not recommended. The custard filling can become watery and the texture of the cake can change once thawed, leading to a less desirable consistency. It's best enjoyed fresh or stored in the refrigerator for a few days. I hope this will help your worries.

Freezing Boston cream pie is tricky! The custard filling might separate, and the cake can become dry. It's best enjoyed fresh, but if you must, freeze the cake and custard separately and assemble just before serving.
