I made these several years ago when this episode first aired. I don't remember now how I did it since the puffed pastry shells come frozen and without a notice well in which to place the custard mixture. This has now turned into an experiment. I'm going to allow the shells to thaw out and see if I can remove the section of the shell that is imprinted with "top" on it. I would think that that section would be detachable once baked so perhaps I can remove it entirely once the dough is thawed. Other than that, I'm out of ideas. They turned out okay but I think next time I'm going to try the recipe with preformed filo cups instead of puffed pastry.
