    💡 Tips for Sicilian Cannoli

    • • Bring dairy ingredients to room temperature before mixing for a smoother texture.
    • • Use room-temperature eggs for more even cooking and better volume.
    • • Grate cheese fresh rather than pre-shredded for better melting and flavor.
    • • Use high-quality chocolate with at least 70% cocoa for richer flavor.
