| 150 grams | fondant sugar |
| 50 grams | glucose syrup |
| 20 grams | dark chocolate (70%) |
| 50 grams | egg white |
| 50 grams | icing sugar |
| 50 grams | melted butter |

Start by making the chocolate opaline. Combine the fondant sugar and glucose in a saucepan and bring to a boil. At 135°C, add the dark chocolate and stir until fully incorporated. Continue heating until the mixture reaches 155°C. Pour the hot mix onto a silicone baking mat and let it cool completely. Once solid, break it into pieces and grind into a fine powder. Dust this chocolate powder over one side of the Nerva Tuille Mold. Mix the egg white, icing sugar, melted butter and flour until smooth. Spread a thin, even layer of the tuille batter into the other side of the mold. Bake at 170°C for 3 to 4 minutes, or until golden and crisp. Let the sheets cool slightly before unmolding them carefully. Tip: You can experiment with different chocolates, add flavoring powders to the opaline, or try alternative batters for different textures.
This high-quality silicone mold features a detailed leaf design, made to create dual-colored crisps. The mold contains a single shape and is made from 100% food-grade silicone.
It can withstand temperatures from -40°C to +200°C, suitable for use in both ovens and (shock) freezers. A full how-to video is available [here].
