Ok, so I know this is a 4 year old thread :0 but thought I would repost in here instead of starting a new question thread about it..

So I made this quite a few times and everytime everyone has loved it. I was thinking of making it again tonight (DS's 2nd birthday and he has a dislike for cake??) and wondered how long i could make the profiteroles before hand? you know, how long can i go without filling and eating? Rouge?? Help me PLEASE !! Lucy isn't on line anymore is she??

You can make the profiteroles a day or two in advance, just don't fill them. The day before is best though, you don't want them to go soggy if you wrap them in gladwrap or similar too long, they go soft.

You can make the creme pat filling though a couple days ahead as well and then you can just put them together on the day.

Good luck!!

Apparently a week in an air tight container, in a dark cool place but not the fridge (so long as they have completely cooled, and dry so put a slit in the side to let them dry completely before storing). When do you plan to have them?

Awesome, thanks Rouge and Limeslice
I was planning on having them tonight, but the afternoon got away on me, so possibly the weekend. When I've made them I've usually filled them as soon as they are cool then they are eaten pretty much straight away lol. That's why I wasn't sure on how much time I could actually leave in between cooling and filling. Thanks girls
