Ingredients

Scale

For the Chocolate Coffee Madeleines

  • 7 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 cup castor sugar
  • 2 tbsp instant coffee
  • 1 tbsp hot water
  • 13 tbsp cake flour
  • 2 tbsp cocoa powder
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt

For the Mascarpone Cream Filling

  • 3 oz mascarpone cheese
  • 1 tbsp confectioners’ sugar
  • 2 tbsp heavy whipping cream
  • 2 tsp Kahlua coffee liqueur

For Dusting

  • Cocoa powder, for dusting

Instructions

  1. Prepare Coffee Mixture: In a small bowl, dissolve the instant coffee in hot water and set aside.
  2. Mix Eggs and Sugar: In a large bowl, whisk the eggs and castor sugar for 3-4 minutes until the sugar is fully dissolved and the mixture is slightly frothy.
  3. Incorporate Coffee: Add the prepared coffee mixture to the egg mixture and whisk until fully combined.
  4. Add Dry Ingredients: Sift together the cake flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt, then whisk these into the wet ingredients until evenly combined.
  5. Blend in Butter: Fold in the melted unsalted butter, whisking thoroughly until the batter is smooth and uniform.
  6. Chill the Batter: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the batter for at least 1 hour or overnight to develop flavors and texture.
  7. Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan: Heat the oven to 370℉ (190℃). Grease a non-stick madeleine pan thoroughly with butter, and if not non-stick, dust lightly with flour.
  8. Prepare Batter for Baking: Remove the chilled batter, gently mix with a spatula to break up any air bubbles, then transfer it to a piping bag.
  9. Fill Madeleine Molds: Pipe the batter into the prepared molds, filling each 80-90% full. Alternatively, spoon the batter carefully into the molds.
  10. Bake Madeleines: Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the madeleines have risen and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  11. Cool Madeleines: Immediately remove the madeleines from the pan onto a cooling rack and allow them to cool completely.
  12. Prepare Mascarpone Filling: In a medium bowl, mix mascarpone cheese with sifted confectioners’ sugar until smooth. Add heavy whipping cream and Kahlua liqueur, mixing until combined. Chill until ready for use.
  13. Create Filling Holes: Using a small paring knife, seed remover tool, or round piping tip, cut 0.6-inch (1.5 cm) diameter holes into the humps of the madeleines, about two-thirds down from the top, creating space for filling.
  14. Fill Madeleines: Stir the mascarpone filling to loosen it, transfer it to a piping bag fitted with a star tip, and fill the holes in each madeleine until the cream slightly oozes out.
  15. Dust with Cocoa: Lightly dust the tops of the filled madeleines with cocoa powder before serving.

Notes

  • Chilling the batter helps achieve the perfect texture and allows flavors to meld.
  • Use a non-stick madeleine pan for easier unmolding; otherwise, grease and dust with flour thoroughly.
  • Adjust the intensity of coffee flavor by choosing your favorite instant coffee blend.
  • Kahlua can be omitted or substituted with another coffee liqueur or vanilla extract for a non-alcoholic version.
  • Serve these madeleines fresh for best taste and texture, ideally within a day or two.
