Raspberry Tuile

I love the idea of making my own stylish dessert toppings, and this two-ingredient (raspberries, sugar) recipe looks so easy to execute. This tuile is deep red in color, and can be molded into any abstract shape you desire. I've seen tuile templates shaped like palm trees, utensils, stars, pineapples, hearts. {How cute is that!} The flavor is tart and tangy and will add a creative touch to your cakes or fresh fruit.
