What Is the Shelf Life of Custard Tart?

Like other desserts, custard tarts are best stored in cool and dry temperatures, conditions that will not shorten their shelf lives. This leads to the next big question, what is the typical shelf life of CBD custard tarts? The desserts can stay fresh for up to 5 days under room temperature, and the same is true when CBD is part of the ingredient list. However, the shelf life lengthens if you put it in the fridge, and you can expect it to stay fresh for up to 10 days. You can refrigerate the dessert to use it for longer, but not beyond 10 days.

What Des Custard Tart Taste Like?

Custard tart is among the sweetest desserts you could ever try. Besides, the more the sweet ingredients you feature in the custard tart recipe, the sweeter the final product becomes. This does not mean that you should overdo things; modesty is key. You can add organic ingredients like broth, eggs, cream, sweeteners, and different spices to enhance the final product’s taste. It is best to use ingredients you are well conversant with and have used in different recipes with good results.

What Is CBD, and What Makes It Popular?

This recipe is not for any custard tart; it features CBD as an additional ingredient. What is CBD? According to Massi et al. (2006) and Bauer et al. (2020), CBD is a non-psychoactive cannabinoid, mostly found in hemp and marijuana plants. Cannabinoids collectively refer to all the chemical compounds in cannabis plants, and more than 100 of them exist. Still, CBD remains the most studied cannabinoid because it is non-psychoactive and does not make one feel ‘high.’ THC is yet another cannabinoid that has attracted scientific studies. According to Schlienz et al. (2018), THC is intoxicating and linked to the ‘high’ effect of smoking weed. CBD is non-psychoactive, and you will not get intoxicated as long as you take it in the right amounts.

Why Should You Make CBD Part of the Custard Tart Recipe?

If you make your custard tart at home, you are free to feature ingredients you deem fit. You can adjust the ingredient list to fit your needs. One ingredient you may add to your custard tart recipe is CBD. According to Watt & Karl (2017), CBD is therapeutic, and adding it to the custard tart recipe helps you take advantage of what it offers. Besides, Hammell et al. (2016) added that CBD can fight inflammation, and you can take advantage of the claimed anti-inflammatory benefits by featuring CBD in the custard tart recipe. Still, it is worth noting that the cannabinoid will not change how the custard tart taste. To retain the taste of the dessert, keep CBD amounts low, especially if you are using the cannabinoid for the first time. So, how do you make your CBD custard tart recipe?
