From the new Summer issue of La Cucina Italiana - Tuiles can be made 5 days ahead and kept, layered between sheets of wax paper, in an airtight container at room temperature. Granita can be made up to 2 days ahead; cover and keep frozen. Read more . Fold granita into cream JUST before serving. Ingredients:
1 large egg white, lightly beaten |
3 tablespoons unbleached all-purpose flour |
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened |
2 tablespoons superfine sugar |
1 tablespoon finely chopped roasted almonds |
1/2 cup sugar |
1/2 cup hot freshly brewed espresso |
1 cup water |
1 cup heavy cream |
unsweetened cocoa powder for dusting |
Directions:
1. Heat oven to 400-degrees-F.
2. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
3. In a bowl, stir together egg white, flour, butter, superfine sugar and almonds until combined.
4. Using the back of a spoon, spread batter thinly into six circles, about 3-inches in diameter.
5. Bake tuiles until edges begin to brown, about 6 minutes.
6. Let tuiles stand on baking sheet 10 seconds (just long enough to allow them to firm up slightly), then transfer with metal spatula to a rolling pin (stabilized on a cooling rack), draping tuiles over pin.
7. (If cookies become too crisp to drape, put them back in the oven for a few seconds to soften.)
8. Let cool.
9. In a large bowl, mix together sugar and espresso, stirring until sugar dissolves.
10. Stir in water, and transfer to a 7x5-inch baking dish.
11. Cover with plastic wrap and freeze until crust forms, about 2 hours.
12. Using a fork, break up crust, mix well, and freeze 2 hours more.
13. In a large bowl, whip cream to firm peaks.
14. Using a fork, break up the granita, fold it into the whipped cream and spoon into bowls.
15. Dust with cocoa powder.
16. Serve with tuiles.
17. Alternative serving: You could drape the hot tuiles right from the oven over inverted custard cups to make little tuile cups, and serve the granita in the tuiles.
