A tuile (/twl/) is a baked wafer, French in origin, generally arced in shape, that is made most often from dough (but also possibly from cheese), often served as an accompaniment of other dishes.[1] Tuile is the French word for tile, after the shape of roof tiles that the arced baked good most often resembles.[2] Tuiles are commonly added as garnishes to desserts such as panna cotta or used as edible cups for sorbet or ice cream.[3]
