Notes
Tips and Techniques
- Remove the cups from the pan as soon as they are cool enough to handle. If some of the filling spills over the sides, it may harden as it cools and make them difficult to remove.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container up to 1 week. Filled puff pastry cups are best consumed the day they are made.
