Let the food cool fully, then place on a baking tray flat in the freezer for up to an hour. Then you can put them into an airtight container or freezer bags, this will stop them sticking together. They will keep in the freezer for up to 3 months. Remove as many from the freezer as you need and defrost fully at room temp or overnight in the fridge.
