Vanilla Madeleines Filled With Fresh Raspberry Mousse

Ingredients
  

Madeleines

  • 2 large room temperature eggs
  • 2/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/8 tsp salt
  • 1 cup all purpose flour
  • 1/4 tsp baking powder
  • 8 tbsp butter melted and cooled (I used unsalted, but salted would work too)

Raspberry Mousse

  • 2 cups fresh raspberries
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1-1/2 teaspoons unflavored gelatin
  • 1/4 cup cold water
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream

Instructions
 

Madeleines

  • Set oven to 375F.
  • Lightly grease and flour your madeleine pan.
  • Beat eggs and sugar together until thick.
  • Beat in vanilla and salt.
  • Sift flour and baking powder into bowl and fold together until mixed.
  • Stream in melted butter while mixing on low.
  • Spoon a tablespoon of batter into each cavity.
  • Bake for 12-14 minutes or until lightly golden brown. Be careful to not over bake.
  • Allow to cool for a few minutes before removing.
  • Make sure pan has cooled before baking the next batch.

Raspberry Mousse

  • Take your fresh or frozen raspberries and puree them in a food processor. Strain the seeds through a sieve and transfer to a large bowl. Mix in sugar and lemon juice. Set aside.
  • In a small saucepan sprinkle gelatin over 1/4 cup cold water. Stir over low heat until dissolved. Once cooled pour into raspberry mixture and whisk. Let sit in fridge for 1 hour or until thickened.
  • After an hour whisk raspberry gelatin mixture on high until foamy. In a separate bowl, whisk cream until thick peaks form. Fold into raspberries and refrigerate for another hour.
  • Using a piping bag with a slim piping tip (I used a wilton No. 230 round) pipe the raspberry mousse into each madeleine. Being careful to not over fill.
  • Yield is 2 dozen
