Madeleines in chocolate with lime cream

Serves: 24
Cooking Time: 45 minutes

Ingredients

  • Clover Farmstyle Butter, to grease
  • cake flour, to dust
  • Madeleines
  • 200g Clover Farmstyle Salted Butter, melted
  • 250g castor sugar
  • 6 eggs
  • 2 egg yolks
  • juice of 1 lemon
  • small pinch salt
  • 250g cake flour
  • 200g dark chocolate, broken into blocks
  • 250ml (1 cup) Clover Fresh Cream
  • 30ml (2 tbsp) castor sugar
  • zest of 1 Lime
  • icing sugar, to dust

Instructions

1

Preheat the oven to 180°C. Prepare 2 madeleine pans by greasing with butter and dusting with flour. Set aside.

2

For the madeleines, melt the 200g Clover Farmstyle Salted Butter in a medium heat-proof measuring jug in the microwave. Allow to cool slightly. Set aside.

3

In a large bowl, whisk together the castor sugar, eggs, egg yolks, lemon juice and salt until pale and the mixture has slightly thickened. Sift in the flour and, using a wooden spoon, gently fold the together. Once the batter is smooth, add the melted butter and fold until combined.

4

Pour the batter into the prepared pans and fill each madeleine mould to about two thirds. Bake until golden and a skewer inserted into the madeleines comes out clean, 10 – 15 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to cool slightly before unmoulding and placing on a wire rack to cool completely.

5

Place the dark chocolate in a bowl set over a pot of simmering water, ensuring the water does not touch the bottom of the bowl. Stir the chocolate with a wooden spoon until melted. Remove from heat.

6

Take each cooled madeleine and dip into the chocolate, covering just the tip. Place on a wire rack to harden.

7

Whip the Clover Fresh Cream and castor sugar to soft peaks, then fold through the lime zest.

8

Dust the madeleines with icing sugar and serve with a side of lime cream for dipping.
