The combination of tropical coconut and nutty sesame seeds creates a unique flavor profile, while the chocolate drizzle adds a touch of indulgence.

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease your madeleine pan with butter or non-stick spray to prevent sticking.
2. Prepare Dry Ingredients:
- In a medium-sized bowl, sift together the coconut flour and baking powder. Stir in the dried coconut meat and sesame seeds.
3. Mix Wet Ingredients:
- In another bowl, whisk the eggs and sugar together until the mixture becomes light and frothy, about 3-4 minutes. Add the vanilla extract and mix well.
4. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients:
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the egg mixture, stirring gently to combine. Avoid over-mixing to keep the batter light.
5. Incorporate the Butter:
- Slowly pour the melted butter into the batter, folding gently until the butter is fully incorporated. The batter should be smooth and slightly thick.
6. Fill the Madeleine Pan:
- Spoon the batter into the prepared madeleine pan, filling each mold about three-quarters full. Smooth the tops if necessary to ensure even baking.
7. Bake:
- Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the madeleines spring back when gently pressed.
8. Cool:
- Remove the madeleines from the oven and let them cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack to cool completely.
9. Add Chocolate Drizzle (Optional):
- Once the madeleines have cooled completely, melt some chocolate in a microwave or double boiler. Drizzle the melted chocolate over the madeleines using a spoon or a piping bag.
10. Serve:
- Allow the chocolate drizzle to set before serving. Enjoy your delicious Coconut and Sesame Madeleines with Chocolate Drizzle as a delightful treat for any occasion!

Enjoy your delicious, homemade coconut and sesame madeleines with a chocolate drizzle. They are best served fresh, but you can store them in an airtight container for a few days. These madeleines are sure to impress with their unique flavors and elegant appearance. Happy baking!

Coconut and sesame madeleines with choc drizzle FAQ:

What is the baking time for the madeleines?

Bake the madeleines in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 10-12 minutes. They should be golden around the edges and spring back when lightly pressed.

How can I tell if my madeleines are done baking?

Madeleines are done baking when the edges are golden brown and they spring back to touch. You can also check for a slight golden color on top and a firm texture.

What size madeleine pan should I use for this recipe?

Use a standard madeleine pan, which typically has 12 molds. This recipe should fill the molds about three-quarters full without overflowing.

Can I substitute any ingredients in this recipe?

You can substitute coconut flour with almond flour if you need a nut-based option. However, be careful as coconut flour absorbs more moisture; you may need to adjust the wet ingredients slightly.

How should I store leftover madeleines?

Store any leftover madeleines in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, you can freeze them in a freezer-safe bag for up to one month.

Tips:

- Ensure your ingredients, especially the eggs and butter, are at room temperature before starting to mix. This helps in achieving a smoother batter.

- Be gentle when folding in the dry ingredients to avoid deflating the batter, resulting in lighter madeleines.

- Chill the batter in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before baking. This helps in achieving the classic madeleine hump.

- Use a piping bag to fill the madeleine molds for a cleaner and more even distribution of the batter.

- Do not overbake. Madeleines are done when they are golden around the edges and spring back when touched.
