Dessert Questions, Answered
Can I make these desserts ahead?
Most are even better made a day ahead: cheesecakes and puddings especially love an overnight chill to set and develop flavor.
How do I store leftovers?
Keep them covered in the fridge. Creamy desserts are best within 2–3 days; cookies and bars keep a bit longer at room temperature.
Can I freeze them?
Many freeze beautifully, wrap slices well and freeze up to a month, then thaw in the fridge. Add fresh toppings after thawing.
What is Biscoff?
Biscoff is a spiced caramelized cookie (speculoos) and the cookie-butter spread made from it, and it’s the star of more than one treat here.
