STORINGIn the fridge This is a great dessert for making earlier in the day, freeing up your kitchen and oven space for main course. Leftovers can be stored in the fridge once cooled, and reheated thoroughly in the microwave on another day.In the freezer This is great for freezing, so you could even batch cook a couple to save time on another day! Wait until cool, then wrap very well and freeze before baking.

When you’re ready to enjoy it, defrost thoroughly before baking as usual according to the recipe below.Leftovers can also be frozen. Do this in a microwave-safe container so you can reheat it straight away.

Alternatively, defrost thoroughly and reheat it in the oven.TOP Tips For an even crunchier, nutty topping, you could add 75g of nuts. Pecans or almonds work especially well here.

The consistency of the topping should be like clumpy breadcrumbs – but be careful it’s not too fine, it needs to clump together a little. If it doesn’t, add a TINY bit of water at a time (half a teaspoon) until it does. Beware not to overdo it or it will become paste-like and not at all crumbly.
