Chef's tip

Get ahead: Freeze at the end of step 3 for up to 1 month. Defrost and decorate a day ahead and keep in an airtight container.

These are AMAZING!!! And rather decadent. I made them for my friend's 30th birthday, decorating them with some red, sparkly cutouts of handbags and shoes. It was great watching people bite in and be surprised by the secret jam filling inside.
