(More customer reviews)I have been using these croustades for many years, but I am now finding them hard to get. I am delighted that Amazon will have them.
They are extremely versatile. I use them for both savories and sweets, but sweets are my favorites! Their only drawback is that many recipes cannot be made far ahead, since the cups do soften, so I make many things ahead, popping goodies into the cups at the last minute.
Some things can be made ahead; I make mini pecan pies, using my usual recipe with more, and finer ground pecans. They bake up in about ten minutes, and keep for weeks. I also make tartlets ahead by pouring melted chocolate, white, dark or milk, into the shell, tipping to cover to the edges and draining on a rack over a pan. When set up, these will take chocolate mousse, ganache truffle mixtures, unbaked cheesecake mixtures, lemon curd, etc., and will be crisp for days. They are beautiful additions to a dessert tray. I also make mini pumpkin and mince pies, but these will soften eventually. I quickly fill them and bake them just before dinner, or just before dinner's end, and they are delicious with a dab of brandied whipped cream or hard sauce for the mince.
These are less trouble than either phyllo or puff pastry, and are thinner, allowing more of the taste of the filling to dominate. There are a million uses I haven't mentioned; only your imagination limits you!
