Since it is a custard base, it would be best not to allow it to sit out for more than an hour - total.

From the FDA website and a Department of Health source, cooked foods can be left out for up to 4 hours after they are removed from the oven. This is a regulation for restaurants. So the time might be longer at individuals homes.

Notice that regulation does not allow for storage of any leftovers.

3-501.19 Time as a Public Health Control.

Time -- maximum up to 4 hours

(B) If time temperature control is used as the public health control up to a maximum of 4 hours:

  1. (1) The food shall have an initial temperature of 5ºC (41ºF) or less when removed from cold holding temperature control, or 57°C (135°F) or greater when removed from hot holding temperature control; P
  2. (2) The food shall be marked or otherwise identified to indicate the time that is 4 hours past the point in time when the food is removed from temperature control; Pf
  3. (3) The food shall be cooked and served, served at any temperature if ready-to-eat, or discarded, within 4 hours from the point in time when the food is removed from temperature control; P and
  4. (4) The food in unmarked containers or packages, or marked to exceed a 4-hour limit shall be discarded. P
More information:The City of Chicago regulations require that custard/cream-filled pastries be cooled to 40°F within 1 hour. See page 4/5 of the CBH Reg link.
