These exquisite madeleines are infused with the nutty richness of black sesame and dipped in silky white and emerald green chocolate, finished with delicate flecks of edible gold. With their elegant shell shape and tender sponge texture, they are the perfect fusion of French pâtisserie and modern artistry.

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled
  • 2/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tbsp black sesame powder (finely ground toasted seeds)
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1/2 cup white chocolate, melted
  • 1/2 cup dark green candy melts or white chocolate tinted with matcha or food coloring
  • Edible gold leaf or gold flakes, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Batter: In a mixing bowl, beat eggs and sugar until light and fluffy (about 3 minutes).
  2. Add vanilla and mix in.
  3. Sift together flour, black sesame powder, baking powder, and salt. Gently fold into the egg mixture.
  4. Fold in melted butter until smooth and incorporated.
  5. Chill batter for at least 1 hour (or overnight) for best results.
  6. Bake the Madeleines: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease and flour a madeleine pan.
  7. Spoon batter into the molds, filling each about 3/4 full.
  8. Bake for 10–12 minutes or until the edges are golden and the centers spring back when touched.
  9. Cool completely on a wire rack.
  10. Decorate: Dip the ridged side of each madeleine halfway into melted white or green chocolate.
  11. Place on parchment and top with edible gold flakes before chocolate sets.
  12. Let chocolate harden at room temperature or chill briefly to set faster.

Notes

  • Chilling the batter helps create the classic madeleine hump.
  • Use a pastry brush to lightly coat the pan with butter and dust with flour to prevent sticking.
  • Customize the color of the chocolate coating to match different themes or occasions.
