I love coffee, not so much to drink but love all coffee flavored desserts, chocolates. Tiramisu is one of my favorite desserts to make and eat and coffee biscotti is my fav thing to pair with a cup of hot cocoa. Another fancy looking recipe which is a hit amongst my friends is this Spiced nut Baklava with Coffee Syrup
Today we are making another coffee flavored treat, Coffee Madeleine , you can check out the video here on my instagram reel
Story: We have a cute little coffee shop near where I live. Mission coffee has been a hangout place for many years, fondly called Fremont’s living room. Its run by this incredible lady Gael who at 75 still is passionate about her shop and works incredibly hard. She decided to finally close down the shop. It was heartbreaking for us all. She is a very kind person, when I went to meet her, she gifted me this beautiful antique kettle. I thought what better way to showcase and say thank you than make something using coffee, an ingredient that connected me to Gael
What are Madelines ? Madeleine are tiny butter cakes that originated in Commercy and Liverdun, two communes of the Lorraine region in northeastern France. Madeleines are baked in a special pan that gives them a unqiue shell-like shape. These are often flavored with lemon, almond and served at tea time
Today’s recipe is super easy to make, looks fancy and the best part, you can make the batter ahead of time, take it out of the fridge and in 10 mins you can have warm bite sized cookies/cakes that are flavored beautifully with coffee. I add nutmeg to this, which I feel enhances the coffee flavor
Perfect coffee madeleines
Super easy to make these coffee flavored Madeleine are perfect to pair with coffee after diinner or to be served at high tea. A hint of nutmeg adds to the robust coffee flavor.
