Hi, thanks for the cute recipe. I am planning to make this for a party . Can we make it before 1 day and preserve please? Will it melt down . Suggestions please.
Hi Rashmita,
Thank you so much! You can absolutely make these the day before. Depending on the temperature where you are, you can either keep them covered on your kitchen table or store them in the fridge. Even the freezer will be fine (just take them out 30 minutes before serving). Enjoy! x Sine
