Storage and Make‑Ahead Guidelines
These bites store beautifully, making them a fantastic make‑ahead option.
Freezing: Store in a sealed bag or container in the freezer for up to 2 weeks. They stay perfectly portioned and ready to grab.
Thawing: Let them sit at room temperature for 2 minutes before eating. The frost melts into a creamy strawberry glaze.
Pro tip: If you’re making these ahead of time, keep them in the freezer until ready to serve – they thaw rapidly into a soft, creamy bite.
