"If you bake them in individual ceramic ramekins, you don't even have to unmold the extras. Just keep them covered with plastic wrap in the refrigerator and enjoy them up to several days later, right out of the mold or unmolded and decorated with more sauce and berries. Just don't eat it standing up in front of the refrigerator. Mom definitely would not approve of that...."
