Serving Suggestions
Donsuemor madeleines are a versatile treat. Reward yourself with a small indulgence whether at home or on-the-go.
Our madeleines are the perfect accompaniment to coffee, tea, hot cocoa, milk, or wine.
In France, madeleines are traditionally enjoyed warm, straight from the ovens of patisseries. Induce a moment of happiness by warming our madeleines in a 350°F oven for 3-4 minutes or 10 seconds in a microwave.
For an elegant dessert, simply place some madeleines in a bowl with fresh fruit and a dollop of whipped cream. Or garnish a dish of ice cream or sorbet with some madeleines.
Use our madeleines to make delicious desserts. Here are our favorite recipes:
