Dark chocolate dipped madeleine recipe

Like every week since the start of confinement, new sweet treats baked for my little girl with flour that comes straight from a Demeter farm. And today, here we are with a delicious chocolate madeleine recipe, one of my favourite french cakes. We love madeleines ! Les madeleines de Marcel Proust.

Regarding the why and how of the recipe, I have:

• choose dark chocolate because I love it but you can also try it with milk chocolate or white chocolate.
• tested several techniques for chocolate shells and I made a combination of all the ones I tried and in the end my shells were pretty good.

To make the perfect chocolate shell shape, as I said, I tested several techniques, including one that said to melt squares of dark chocolate in your oven, which was still hot. The idea was not bad but it depends on the size of your chocolate squares… mine probably weren’t big enough 🤣🤣🤣. The advantage of melting chocolate and applying it with a brush is that you can put a lot of it on top of your madeleines.

It is then possible to keep the madeleines in an iron box for several days. I was surprised but they keep very well. Be careful however to close the box well and especially not to put it in the sun !! Then provide a towel for your children!

If you want to get started with a traditional french madeleines recipe, try my other recipe. They are just as delicious.

I feel that we are all going to end fat with the confinement … It is delicacies on delicacies around here, and I only think about food from morning to evening … er it doesn’t really change my daily life!
