How to keep the puff skin from becoming soft? How to heat the puff without filling?

We all know that puff is a popular dessert. It tastes soft and delicious, and the cream inside is sweet and super delicious. Many people like to eat puff, especially children and female friends. So how to preserve puff without filling? Let's take a closer look!

How to store and reheat unfilled profiteroles

The puffs have no fillings, they should be pure puff shells. In this case, if you don't eat them right away, it is recommended to pack them in a sealed bag and freeze them. Bake them at 180 degrees for a few minutes before eating to restore their crispy texture.

If you want to eat the puff skin right away, you can seal it and store it at room temperature for one day when the weather is not hot, or refrigerate it for one day. It is not recommended to keep it for too long. Fill it with stuffing when you eat it.

How to store filled profiteroles

If it is a puff with filling, it should be refrigerated. Just like the puffs we buy and eat outside, which are filled with cream but the skin is soft. In fact, such puffs are usually filled with fillings that have been stored for a long time.

For truly discerning foodies, the filling of the puff must be put in just before eating, otherwise the puff skin will easily collapse if left for too long.

For puffs with fillings, since the cream fillings or ice cream fillings used in them are easy to melt when exposed to heat, you can refrigerate them for a short time (for example, eat them on the same day) or freeze them. If you keep them hygienic and sealed, they can have a shelf life of 7 days. Puffs with fillings should not be heated. They can be eaten after they are slightly warmed up at room temperature to avoid irritating the stomach.
