This doesn't sound like it is make ahead if one is to serve hot?

I got these instructions from Blue Cheese and Pine Nut Puffs Prepare as directed, except cool completely. Transfer to an airtight container; cover. Freeze for up to 1 month. To serve, preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Bake frozen puffs about 5 minutes or until warm.

So do you freeze them in the puff form and then plop onto the baking tray when ready? Or when does the freezing happen?
