CHERRY SHERBET IN TUILE BOWLS

Steps:

• Prepare an ice-water bath; set aside. Stir together 2/3 cup sugar and 2/3 cup water in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil, stirring occasionally. Transfer the syrup immediately to a medium bowl. Place the bowl in the ice-water bath, being careful not to let the water reach the rim of the bowl. Let the syrup cool completely, stirring frequently.
• Whisk together the crème fraîche, heavy cream, milk, salt, and syrup in a large bowl. Transfer to the freezer; let set, whisking mixture vigorously for 2 minutes every 30 minutes, until the sherbet is the consistency of whipped cream and the whisk leaves a trail, 3 to 4 hours.
• Meanwhile, put the cherries, remaining 1/3 cup sugar, and lemon juice in a large skillet. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until the cherries begin to break down and the juice has thickened, about 10 minutes. Transfer to a medium bowl. Let the mixture stand at room temperature until it has cooled completely.
• Gently fold the cherry mixture into the sherbet until just combined (the juices should leave streaks). Cover the surface of the sherbet with parchment paper and freeze in the bowl until set, 4 to 8 hours.
• If making a day ahead, transfer the sherbet to an airtight container, and place a piece of parchment paper directly onto the surface of the sherbet. Cover tightly. Before serving, let stand at room temperature until slightly softened, about 5 minutes. Scoop the sherbet into tuile bowls, and serve.
• Preheat the oven to 350°F, with a rack in the middle. Put the butter and brown sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Mix on medium speed until fluffy, 2 to 3 minutes. Mix in the egg whites, one at a time. Mix in the flour, salt, and vanilla.
• Line a baking sheet with a Silpat baking mat or parchment paper. Spoon 2 tablespoons batter onto the baking mat. Using an offset spatula, spread the batter into a 7-inch circle, with the edges slightly thicker than the center. Repeat, making a second circle on the mat.
• Bake, rotating the sheet halfway through, until the edges of the cookies turn golden, about 9 minutes. Using a small spatula, immediately transfer 1 cookie to a small bowl (about 5 1/2 inches in diameter and 3 inches deep). Gently mold the warm cookie to the shape of the bowl, pressing the bottom down to flatten. Let stand in the bowl 30 seconds; remove. Repeat with the remaining cookie. If the cookies become too cool to shape, return them to oven for 20 seconds. Repeat, baking the remaining batter and forming it into bowls. If using just 1 baking sheet, let it cool before spreading the next batch of batter onto it.
