Make ahead bakes

These sweet treats can be frozen and eaten as you need them. So you don’t overeat and always have something delicious to offer unexpected guests. Double smug.

by Jennifer Joyce

These are the perfect make-ahead dessert for picnics or casual gatherings. It is very important to lower the oven temperature for the topping to bake otherwise it will bubble up and overcook.
