Can Boston Cream Pie be frozen?  I'm thinking of making individual ones and am wondering if I can do this.

I know exactly what you are asking and don't have the answer but this sort of query always reminds me of a comment by Niloufer Ichaporia King in her book, My Bombay Kitchen:

It keeps for at least a week refrigerated and can be successfully thawed. (Note, I didn't say 'frozen'. Anything can be successfully frozen).

🙃

Edited to add that because I'm a looker upper, I looked it up and I think this response to the question touched all bases:

It is best if you do not freeze Boston Cream Pie.
You can freeze a Boston Cream Pie if the Crème Pâtissière is made with Flour but not if it is made with Corn Starch. It will weep, break down and become watery.
There are also recipes that call for using Crème Pâtissière made with Gelatin which also freezes.
Any of them will be better if not frozen but you can but personally I wouldn’t.

That last line cracks me up!
