# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • No baking means your oven stays free for the holiday ham while you prep these ahead
  • Everyone gets their own adorable portion, so theres no fighting over the last slice
02 -
  • Cold cream whips faster and holds its shape better, so dont let it sit out while you prep other ingredients
  • Press the crust firmly with the back of your spoon or a tiny jar, otherwise it crumbles when you dig in
03 -
  • Use a piping bag for the whipped cream topping to get those perfect swirls that look bakery professional
  • Tap each jar gently on the counter after filling to settle any air pockets and ensure the eggs stay hidden
