Helpful Hints

Use ingredients at room temperature for better blending. Don't overmix or they'll crack. They'll stay good in the fridge for up to 3 days.

Frequently Asked Questions

→ Why should ingredients be at room temperature?

This keeps your batter smooth with no lumps. Let them sit out for about an hour before mixing.

→ Why do cracks happen during baking?

Mixing eggs too much or changing the temperature quickly can cause this. Be patient during cooling.

→ Can I prepare these in advance?

Yep! Store up to 3 days before serving. Add your toppings just before enjoying.

→ What’s the benefit of slow cooling?

It keeps the texture creamy and stops cracks from forming on top.

→ Are these freezable?

Yes, without topping. Freeze for up to 30 days and defrost in the fridge overnight.
