Freezing the Parsnip Roulade

Asked on 30 Oct 2018 by coffee and cake

Hi am I able to freeze the cheese and parsnip roulade in Delia’s Christmas book. Might have a veggie for Christmas dinner and don’t want to do a nut roast. TIA

Hello TIA,

Obviously the result will not be exactly the same as it is when made fresh but yes it can be frozen.

Make as per the recipe and leave to cool completely at room temperature. If you don’t want to serve the whole roulade on the day you can divide it into 2 or 3 then open-freeze until solid. Then wrap well in clingfilm or foil. Freeze for up to 3 months. Defrost, unwrapped, but covered, overnight in the fridge. To reheat, place on a baking tray, cover with foil and heat in a preheated oven at gas 180°C for 20-25 minutes until thoroughly heated through.

Kind regards

Lindsey

Thank you. Could I make it the day before and gently reheat on the big day?

Yes you could do that.
