Notes

These cups store beautifully. Let them cool completely, then place them in an airtight container. They will keep in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. For longer storage, wrap each cup individually in plastic wrap and place them in a freezer bag. They freeze for up to 3 months. To reheat, simply microwave one cup for 20 to 30 seconds, or pop them in a toaster oven at 350°F for 5 minutes.
