Frequently Asked Questions:
Can I use homemade puff pastry instead of store-bought?
Absolutely! If you have the time and skills, homemade puff pastry will make these even more special. Just be sure it’s well chilled before using.
Can I substitute ladyfingers with something else?
Yes, you can use graham crackers, digestive biscuits, or even crushed amaretti for a different flavor and texture.
Can I freeze them?
You can freeze the unbaked bundles on a tray, then transfer them to a freezer bag. Bake straight from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to the cooking time. Avoid freezing after baking, as the texture might suffer.
Can I make them ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare them a few hours in advance and store them in the fridge, covered, until ready to bake. Brush with egg wash just before placing in the oven.
