I want to make Delia's cheese and parsnip roulade ahead or Christmas.

Asked on 22 Oct 2016 by Janette

Dear Lindsey

I want to make Delia's cheese and parsnip roulade for Christmas. As we will going away this year, I wanted to make it in advance so that I can take it with me. Therefore my question is, can the roulade be made and frozen, please? Many thanks.

Lindsey, Food Editor replied

Hello Janette,

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

Cheese and parsnip roulade with sage and onion stuffing

Bake 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. Reheat, coverd in foil on a baking tray in a preheated oven at gas 180°C for 20-25 minutes until thoroughly heated through.

Kind regards

Lindsey
