Tuile Bowls Recipes

Steps:

• Prepare an ice-water bath; set aside. Stir together 2/3 cup sugar and 2/3 cup water in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil, stirring occasionally. Transfer syrup immediately to a medium bowl. Place bowl in ice-water bath, being careful not to let water reach rim of bowl. Let syrup cool completely, stirring frequently.
• Whisk together creme fraiche, heavy cream, milk, salt, and the syrup in a large bowl. Transfer to freezer; let set, whisking mixture vigorously for 2 minutes every 30 minutes, until sherbet is the consistency of whipped cream and whisk leaves a trail, 3 to 4 hours.
• Meanwhile, put cherries, remaining 1/3 cup sugar, and the lemon juice in a large skillet. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until cherries begin to break down and juice has thickened, about 10 minutes. Transfer to a medium bowl. Let mixture stand at room temperature until it has cooled completely.
• Gently fold cherry mixture into sherbet until just combined (juices should leave streaks). Cover surface of sherbet with parchment paper and freeze in bowl until set, 4 to 8 hours.
• If making a day ahead, transfer sherbet to an airtight container, and place a piece of parchment paper directly onto surface of sherbet. Cover tightly. Let stand at room temperature until slightly softened, about 5 minutes. Scoop sherbet into tuile bowls, and serve.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F, with a rack in the middle. Put the butter and brown sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Mix on medium speed until fluffy, 2 to 3 minutes. Mix in the egg whites, one at a time. Mix in the flour, salt, and vanilla.
• Line a baking sheet with a Silpat baking mat or parchment paper. Spoon 2 tablespoons batter onto the baking mat. Using an offset spatula, spread the batter into a 7-inch circle, with the edges slightly thicker than the center. Repeat, making a second circle on the mat.
• Bake, rotating the sheet halfway through, until the edges of the cookies turn golden, about 9 minutes. Using a small spatula, immediately transfer 1 cookie to a small bowl (about 5 1/2 inches in diameter and 3 inches deep). Gently mold the warm cookie to the shape of the bowl, pressing the bottom down to flatten. Let stand in the bowl 30 seconds; remove. Repeat with the remaining cookie. If the cookies become too cool to shape, return them to oven for 20 seconds. Repeat, baking the remaining batter and forming it into bowls. If using just 1 baking sheet, let it cool before spreading the next batch of batter onto it.

Steps:

• Sift the flour, sugar, and salt into a small mixing bowl. Add the egg whites and then the melted unsalted butter, and whisk until just combined. Set the batter aside to rest for 1 1/2 hours before using, or cover and refrigerate for up to 3 days.
• Preheat the oven to 350°F. Heavily butter 3 pieces of parchment paper, and place one each on three baking sheets. Using 1 1/2 Tbsps. per tuile, spoon the batter onto the baking sheets, 5 per sheet. The cookies should be at least 2 inches apart, as they spread during baking. Dipping a finger in the milk first, spread each cookie into a 3-inch round. To insure even baking, make the edges no thinner than the centers.
• Bake the tuiles 8 to 10 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the centers are just beginning to color. Remove the cookies from the oven. As soon as they are cool enough to handle, remove the tuiles from the baking sheets and drape them around rolling pins or wine bottles. If the cookies become too cool and stiff to bend, return them to the oven for a minute or so and they will soften up.
