You can freeze the puffs without the cream. Once prepared, place puffs in a single layer in a freezer bag or storage container. If at all possible, avoid stacking pastries and place in a safe spot in your freezer; the pastries are delicate. If you’d like to fill them with cream then I would not fill them as pictured but more like a cream donut and not cut them in half but just stuff them with some cream filling.
