You can flash freeze the whole thing for an hour before baking, or bake and then cool to room temperature. When ready to store, first wrap the crostata in a layer of plastic wrap before placing it in an airtight bag, and keep it in the freezer for up to 3 months.

id=\"faq-question-1749799537618\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">What is the difference between crostata and galette?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Not much\u2026 In fact, a crostata is just an Italian version of a French galette, and vice versa. Both rustic dishes are made with a pastry dough wrapped around a sweet or savory filling.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1749798807654\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Can I make this crostata with frozen berries?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Yes, you can bake with frozen fruit. However, the trick is to keep the fruit frozen and not thaw it first; otherwise, the berries will become overly soft and mushy.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1750063735028\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">How do you thicken ricotta cream?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">The ricotta cream is a very loose cream due to the addition of honey. I personally love it this way. If you prefer a stiffer version, consider using whipped honey or substituting sugar.<\/p> <\/div> <\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-similar-recipes-you-might-like\">Similar Recipes You Might Like<\/h3>\n\n\n\n\t<p class=\"dpsp-share-text \" style=\"margin-bottom:10px\">\n\t\tShare This Recipe With Friends!\t<\/p>\n\t\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t<p>This site contains affiliate links, if you make a purchase through them, we receive a small commission.<\/p>\n\t\n \t\n\n\t\t\n<\/article> <!-- end .post -->\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<!-- #comments -->\n\n\n\n<\/div>\r\n<br>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This post may contain affiliate links.
