I make this when I have a lot of milk, I freeze into 500ml portions once cooked.

Works well for me :)

It's always handy to have some small portions of this recipe (the cheese version) in the freezer to pour over cauli or broccoli too.

Would you believe I have never thought of freezing this? I freeze pizza sauces and others but not this. Thanks.
May all dairy items in your fridge be of questionable vintage.

Yes,  I freeze extra of this one too... I find it's a handy thing to have too.

I normally freeze 1/2 the recipe when I make it but i still have to add a little more milk and whisk again upon defrosting so not a huge time saver.
