• 50 g of sugar
• 50 g of egg whites
• 50 g of 00 flour

👩‍🍳 Step-by-step preparation

👉 For the tulips:

1. In a bowl, mix sugar, egg whites, and flour, then add the softened butter and mix well until you obtain a homogeneous dough.
2. Let it rest in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
3. Line a well-chilled baking tray with parchment paper.
4. Using a spoon, form 12 thin discs with the dough.
5. Bake in a preheated oven at 200°C for a few minutes, until the wafers are golden.
6. Remove from the oven and detach the wafers while they are still warm, shaping them between two small bowls to give them the shape of a tulip or bowl. Allow to cool completely.

👉 For the apple sorbet:

1. In a large bowl, combine the apple juice, water, Moscato wine, and sugar, mixing well until completely dissolved.
2. Pour the mixture into a gelato maker and churn until you obtain a creamy and compact sorbet.

👉 Composition of the dessert:

1. Fill each tulip-shaped wafer with one or two scoops of apple sorbet.
2. Serve immediately to preserve the crispness of the wafers and the freshness of the sorbet.

💡 Delicious tips:

• You can decorate with fresh mint, lemon zest, or slices of dried apple for a chic touch.
• The sorbet can also be prepared without wine for a non-alcoholic version.
