What is the shelf life of children's charlotte?

Leftover pie should not be stored for more than 3 days due to the fruit filling. To ensure your child's safety, it's best to transfer the charlotte pieces to airtight containers and store them once the dessert has cooled completely. If the charlotte develops an off-flavor or aroma, it's best to eat the pie itself or discard it.

Use a microwave

When warm, the charlotte is much softer and more flavorful. You can pulse it in the microwave. Just be careful not to overheat it, or your baby might burn himself. Don't forget to check the temperature inside the cake by breaking it in half.

Give up spices

Children are little conservatives. Any new and unfamiliar flavor will be a good reason to skip dessert. Therefore, it's best to make the charlotte without spices. You'll also be sure to avoid the risk of allergies if you're serving it to other people's children.

Contrary to popular belief, even small children can occasionally have sweet baked goods. As long as you know the limits and don't overfeed your baby, their teeth and digestion will be fine.
