How can I store the strawberry pastry shell cannoli with custard and strawberries?
To maintain freshness, it is best to store the pastry shell cannoli in the refrigerator, in an airtight container, for up to 2-3 days. However, it is advisable to add the strawberries just before serving to prevent them from releasing too much liquid, compromising the pastry shell’s texture.
