Raspberry and Hazelnut Tuiles

Chill the fruit-and-butter mixture before portioning it into small mounds. Leave generous space on the baking mat, since these tuiles spread as they bake.

Bring it to the table

Start with one small portion

Bake one small mound first to judge its spread in your oven. Keep the rest of the batter chilled while you work in batches.

At the table

Add to a plated dessert just before serving, or enjoy as a small crisp cookie.

See the ingredient checklist
  • 50 g confectioners sugar
  • 13 g all-purpose flour
  • 25 g hazelnuts — finely chopped; or almonds
  • 25 g raspberry coulis — smooth and seedless
  • 19 g unsalted butter — melted

A few useful notes.

This version contains hazelnuts, or almonds if using the substitution.

The number of tuiles depends on the portion size and spread.

Use a silicone mat and let the tuiles firm before lifting; they are fragile while hot.

The cooking plan

How to make Raspberry and Hazelnut Tuiles.

  1. Stir the confectioners sugar and flour together. Mix in the raspberry coulis and melted butter, then fold in the finely chopped hazelnuts.

  2. Cover and refrigerate until cold and firm enough to portion. Heat the oven to 350°F and line a baking tray with a silicone baking mat.

  3. Place a small mound, about a teaspoon, on the mat. Bake this first portion to judge the spread, then arrange further small mounds with plenty of space between them. Flatten slightly if needed for even thickness.

  4. Bake for about 6–8 minutes, watching closely near the end, until the tuiles have spread and their edges are golden. Adjust as needed for the size of each portion.

  5. Let them cool on the mat until firm enough to lift, then transfer carefully to a rack to cool completely. Once crisp and cold, keep airtight and add to moist desserts only at serving time.

A couple of useful answers.

Can I use almonds?

Yes. Finely chopped almonds are an alternative to the hazelnuts in this batter.

Why keep them away from a moist dessert until serving?

Moisture softens their crisp texture, so add them at the last moment.
