Ingredients

Scale

Madeleines

  • 1 cup Unsalted Butter (substitute with coconut oil for dairy-free)
  • 3 large Eggs (use egg replacers for vegan option)
  • 3/4 cup Castor Sugar (granulated sugar works as an alternative)
  • 2 tablespoons Instant Coffee (substitute with espresso powder for bolder flavor)
  • 1/4 cup Hot Water
  • 1 cup Cake Flour (all-purpose flour can be used)
  • 1 tablespoon Cocoa Powder (Dutch-processed for milder taste)
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Powder (ensure it’s fresh)
  • 1/4 teaspoon Salt (omit only on sodium-restricted diet)

Filling

  • 1 cup Mascarpone Cheese (can be substituted with cream cheese)
  • 1/4 cup Confectioners’ Sugar (granulated sugar for grainier texture)
  • 1/2 cup Heavy Whipping Cream (substitute with coconut cream for dairy-free)
  • 2 tablespoons Kahlua Coffee Liqueur (omit for non-alcoholic option)
  • 1 tablespoon Cocoa Powder (for dusting, swap with powdered sugar for sweetness)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Coffee Mixture: In a small bowl, dissolve the instant coffee in hot water, stirring until fully blended. Set aside to cool slightly.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and castor sugar until smooth and creamy. Add the prepared coffee mixture and mix well.
  3. Add Dry Ingredients: Sift the cake flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt into the wet ingredients. Gently fold and mix until the batter is smooth without lumps.
  4. Incorporate Butter: Pour in the melted unsalted butter and whisk until the batter is well combined and homogeneous.
  5. Chill Batter: Cover the mixing bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to improve texture and flavor.
  6. Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan: Preheat the oven to 370°F (190°C). Lightly grease the madeleine pan to prevent sticking.
  7. Fill Madeleines Molds: Using a piping bag or spoon, fill each madeleine mold about 80-90% full to allow room for rising.
  8. Bake: Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are golden and centers spring back when gently pressed.
  9. Cool Madeleines: Remove from oven and let the madeleines cool on a wire rack completely before filling.
  10. Prepare Filling: Beat together mascarpone cheese, sifted confectioners’ sugar, and heavy whipping cream until smooth and fluffy. Add Kahlua and mix well, then chill the filling.
  11. Fill Madeleines: Use a small knife to create holes in the cooled madeleines and pipe in the mascarpone filling carefully.
  12. Finish and Serve: Dust the filled madeleines with cocoa powder. Serve immediately or chill until ready to serve for best flavor.

Notes

  • Serve with fresh berries for added color and flavor.
  • Substitute coconut oil and coconut cream for dairy-free versions.
  • Use egg replacers to make the recipe vegan.
  • For non-alcoholic option, omit Kahlua or use coffee extract.
  • Dutch-processed cocoa powder provides a smoother, milder flavor compared to natural cocoa.
  • Ensure baking powder is fresh to achieve proper rise.
