Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients, especially the Parmesan cheese. Grated Parmesan cheese works best, but you can also use shredded cheese if you don't have a grater.
- Make sure the egg whites are at room temperature before you start. This will help them whip up more easily.
- Don't overbeat the egg whites. You want them to be stiff but not dry.
- Be careful when pouring the batter into the cone molds. You don't want to overfill them, or the cones will be too thick.
- Bake the cones until they are golden brown and crispy. This will take about 10-12 minutes.
- Let the cones cool completely before filling them. This will help them to hold their shape.
