This makes for a super easy Christmas day dessert because you can make the canelé at the begining of December, freeze them, then cook them from frozen in about 10mins when you need them.
They come out nice and crispy on the outside w/ a lovely soft centre.
Same for the ice cream and the syrup will last for months in the frdge!!
