Store Cream Puff Pastries

Store cream puffs in the refrigerator for a few days.


Cream puffs are a type of dessert that combines a crunchy pastry shell with a soft, sweet filling. Fill cream puffs with anything from pudding to whipped cream or even with a fruit filling. Make cream puffs ahead of time and store them either in the refrigerator or even the freezer. Or, just make the shells ahead of time and store those until you are ready to fill and serve them.


Instructions


1. Cool the cream puff shells completely at room temperature on wire racks before filling them.


2. Put filled cream puffs into an airtight container and store them in the refrigerator for two to three days.


3. Store filled cream puffs in an airtight container in the freezer for several weeks.


4. Cut cream puff shells like you would to fill them and store them in an airtight container at room temperature for several days.


5. Place uncut cream puff shells in the freezer, wrapped tightly in plastic wrap and a freezer-safe zip-top bag. Keep these in it for several weeks.
