Chocolate Tile

Tuiles are a pastry classic: thin, delicate, and capable of providing that crisp contrast that enhances any dessert. Whether accompanying a mousse, crowning a cake, or forming part of a restaurant plating, their function is to add lightness, texture, and an elegant touch to every bite.

In this recipe, we present a Chocolate Tile made with Pectin Fruit NH, a thermo-reversible pectin that allows us to obtain a flexible sheet before cooking and that, after baking, achieves a crunchy and stable texture. Unlike other tiles made by dehydration, here we work directly in the oven, which provides a fine, shiny, and uniform result.

The star of the show is Valrhona’s Guanaja, renowned as one of the brand’s most iconic dark chocolates. With 70% cocoa, it stands out for its deep, bitter profile, balanced with warm, subtly fruity notes. Interestingly, Guanaja was one of the first chocolates to break with the perception that chocolate should be predominantly sweet, paving the way for high-intensity dark chocolates.

The result : an elegant, intense and crispy tile, perfect for decorating and elevating your pastry creations.
