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

½ cup sugar

½ cup hot freshly brewed espresso

1 cup water

1 cup heavy cream

Unsweetened cocoa powder for dusting

Directions

Heat oven to 400-degrees-F.

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

In a bowl, stir together egg white, flour, butter, superfine sugar and almonds until combined.

Using the back of a spoon, spread batter thinly into six circles, about 3-inches in diameter.

Bake tuiles until edges begin to brown, about 6 minutes.

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.

(If cookies become too crisp to drape, put them back in the oven for a few seconds to soften.)

Let cool.

In a large bowl, mix together sugar and espresso, stirring until sugar dissolves.

Stir in water, and transfer to a 7x5-inch baking dish.

Cover with plastic wrap and freeze until crust forms, about 2 hours.

Using a fork, break up crust, mix well, and freeze 2 hours more.

In a large bowl, whip cream to firm peaks.

Using a fork, break up the granita, fold it into the whipped cream and spoon into bowls.

Dust with cocoa powder.

Serve with tuiles.

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.
