Black Sesame Tuile Strawberry Whip

A light and airy whipped strawberry cream served in a crisp, nutty black sesame cookie bowl. This dessert uses a unique technique where the cream and macerated fruit are whipped together simultaneously for maximum flavor extraction.

Method

  1. 01

    Dice the strawberries into small, consistent pieces. Combine one packed cup of diced berries with about 1/4 cup of sugar in a bowl. Mix thoroughly until the sugar dissolves and the fruit looks syrupy. Cover and macerate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, stirring occasionally.

    In a separate mixing bowl, combine one egg white, a pinch of salt, 2 tablespoons of sugar, vanilla extract, melted butter, flour, and some black sesame seeds. Whisk until the batter is perfectly smooth.

    Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Spoon heaping tablespoons of batter onto a silicone mat, spreading them into thin 5.5-inch circles. Sprinkle with more black sesame seeds and bake for 10–12 minutes until the edges are golden brown.

    Working very quickly while the tuiles are still hot, remove them from the baking sheet and press them into a small bowl or ramekin. Place another bowl on top to hold the shape until they cool and crisp up into edible cookie bowls.

    To finish the whip, pour the ice-cold heavy cream directly into the bowl with the macerated strawberries and their syrup. Whisk vigorously until the mixture reaches stiff peaks, being careful not to over-whip into butter.

    Spoon the strawberry whip into the cooled tuile bowls. For a cleaner look, garnish with a drizzle of strained strawberry puree rather than diced berries, and finish with a fresh sprig of mint.

From Chef John

  • “Sometimes when we garnish with diced things it can be distracting or as we call it in the business, distracting.”
  • “You are after all the Marquis de Sade of whether your strawberry whip is old-fashioned or mod.”
  • “The colder the better.”
