How to Store and Serve Cream Puffs at Home

You have pre-ordered your cream puffs and picked them up. Here is how to keep them at their best until you serve them.

Bring a cooler bag for the trip home

Cream fillings do not like heat. If you have a longer drive, bring a cooler bag, and never leave the box in a parked car, even for a few minutes. Keep the box flat and level so the puffs do not slide.

Refrigerate straight away

Place the box in the fridge as soon as you get home. Keep the puffs in a single layer and avoid stacking other items on top. Filled puffs are best eaten on the day of pickup, and for the best texture, within 24 hours.

Serve them cool, not ice-cold

Take the box out of the fridge about ten minutes before serving. The filling softens slightly and the flavour comes through more clearly. If your puffs are dusted with icing sugar, dust again just before serving so they look fresh.

Please do not freeze filled puffs

Freezing can change the texture of custard and make the shell soft once defrosted. If you are hosting and need a larger quantity, it is better to order a little extra for pickup the same day.

Pair them well

Cream puffs go nicely with black coffee, kopi, unsweetened tea or a light fruit platter. Their sweetness balances a bitter drink very well.
