Revolutionize this classic by making your own original and intense tuiles, infusing the character of cocoa.

• For approximately 30 tuiles
• Preparation: 30 minutes
• Baking: 20 minutes

Ingredients:

Make sure you have the following ingredients. If you're missing anything in the cocoa and chocolate department, feel free to visit our shop.

• 130g sugar
• 60g flour
• 40g butter
• 8cl coconut milk
• 1 teaspoon cocoa powder
• 1 tablespoon cacao nibs
• Optional vanilla.

Preparation:

1. Preheat the oven to 190 °C.
2. Melt the butter over low heat in a saucepan.
3. In a bowl, mix the sugar, flour, cocoa powder, and cacao nibs. Add the melted butter, then the coconut milk. Mix. If you feel like it, add vanilla by scraping out a pod.
4. Take small spoonfuls of dough and spread them as thinly as possible on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for about 7 minutes.
5. Remove from the oven, let sit for 30 seconds, then, using a thin spatula, place the tuiles one by one on a rolling pin to give them their shape.
6. Repeat the operation until all the dough is used.
7. Let the tuiles cool on a wire rack.

Tip #1

To prevent the tuiles from sticking to the rolling pin, place a piece of parchment paper or a slightly damp, clean cloth around the rolling pin before shaping your tuiles.

Tip #2

To keep the tuiles crispy, store them in a metal cookie tin to protect them from ambient humidity.
