Coconut tuiles and vanilla: Easy low GI recipe

Craving crispiness and sweetness? These coconut tuiles and vanilla are perfect for diabetics and low glycemic index (GI) diets!

When I think of irresistible sweetness, these coconut tuiles and vanilla immediately come to mind. They combine the delicacy of coconut with the enchanting flavor of vanilla. This crispy delight is perfect for a gourmet break and perfectly fits the needs of diabetics and low glycemic index (GI) diets.

Anti-waste tip

To avoid wasting egg yolks, use them in other recipes. You can also reuse the vanilla pod by incorporating it into sugar to flavor it or by drying it to obtain vanilla powder. In season, accompany the tuiles with a few fresh raspberries for a fruity touch.

Here are the ingredients you will need:

• Shredded coconut: Provides the crispy texture and exquisite fragrance, with a low glycemic index, ideal for diabetics.
• Softened butter: Gives consistency and smoothness to the tuiles, while limiting carbohydrates.
• Egg whites: Contribute to the structure and fluffiness, without adding significant carbohydrates.
• Erythritol/stevia: Replaces traditional sugar to lightly sweeten without increasing blood sugar levels.
• Vanilla bean: Infuses the preparation with an enchanting fragrance without a major impact on blood sugar.
• Fleur de sel from Guérande: Accentuates flavors and balances tastes, without impacting blood sugar.

Tips and Tricks:
