Ingredients

INGREDIENTS

  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 large eggs
  • ½ cup buttermilk
  • 1 tablespoon orange zest
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground chai spice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 chai tea bags, brewed and cooled

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a cupcake tin with paper liners.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Add in the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition, then stir in the vanilla and orange zest.
  4. In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, chai spice, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the buttermilk, and mix until just combined.
  6. Finally, fold in the cooled brewed chai tea until evenly distributed in the batter.
  7. Divide the batter evenly among the cupcake liners, filling each about 2/3 full.
  8. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  9. Allow the cupcakes to cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Tip: For an extra touch, drizzle a simple glaze made from powdered sugar and fresh orange juice over the cooled cupcakes.

For an extra burst of flavor, consider adding some finely grated orange zest to the frosting. If you can’t find chai tea bags, you can create your own blend using black tea with spices like cinnamon, ginger, and cardamom.

Store any leftover cupcakes in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days, or refrigerate them for longer freshness. These cupcakes also freeze well—just ensure they are properly wrapped!

Ingredients

INGREDIENTS

  • 3 oz dark chocolate, chopped
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup brewed espresso or strong coffee
  • 2 tbsp sugar
  • 2 tbsp coffee liqueur (optional)
  • 1/2 cup ground hazelnuts
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Melt the dark chocolate in a heatproof bowl set over a pot of simmering water, stirring until smooth. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  2. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Gradually add sugar, coffee liqueur, and vanilla extract, continuing to whip until glossy and medium peaks form.
  3. Gently fold the melted chocolate and cooled espresso into the whipped cream until just combined. Be careful not to deflate the mixture.
  4. Add the ground hazelnuts and a pinch of salt, folding until evenly distributed.
  5. Spoon the mousse into serving cups and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to set before serving.

Notes

Tip: For an elegant touch, garnish with whipped cream and a sprinkle of crushed hazelnuts before serving.

For a lighter version, consider folding in some whipped cream instead of using heavy cream. If you’re short on time, you can prepare the mousse a day in advance and let it chill overnight in the refrigerator.

Common mistakes include not allowing the chocolate to cool slightly before mixing it with the whipped cream, which can cause it to seize. If you prefer a non-alcoholic option, leave out the coffee liqueur and replace it with more brewed coffee.

These mousse cups can be topped with whipped cream, shaved chocolate, or crushed hazelnuts for added texture and flavor. They store well in the refrigerator for up to two days, but they are best served fresh.

Ingredients

INGREDIENTS

  • 1 cup Arborio rice
  • 4 cups whole milk
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon saffron threads
  • 2 tablespoons rosewater
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch

Instructions

  1. Rinse the Arborio rice under cold water until the water runs clear.
  2. In a medium saucepan, combine the rice and milk. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently until it begins to simmer.
  3. Add the sugar, saffron, and salt. Reduce heat to low and cook for about 30-40 minutes, stirring often, until the rice is tender and the mixture is creamy.
  4. In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with water to create a slurry. Stir this into the rice pudding mixture and cook for an additional 5 minutes until thickened.
  5. Remove from heat and stir in rosewater. Allow the mixture to cool slightly.

For a richer flavor, consider infusing the milk with cardamom pods or vanilla beans while heating. If you can’t find saffron, turmeric can be a substitute for color, although it won’t replicate the flavor.

Serve with a sprinkle of crushed pistachios or a drizzle of honey for added texture and sweetness. This tart can be made a day in advance; just store it covered in the fridge and let it come to room temperature before serving.

Crispy Almond-Orange Glazed Madeleines

by Linda
written by Linda

These crispy almond-orange glazed madeleines are a delightful twist on a classic French treat. Each bite offers a perfect balance of buttery richness and refreshing citrus, making them a perfect accompaniment to your afternoon tea or coffee.

The key technique lies in the unique aluminum madeleine mold, which gives these cookies their signature shell shape and crisp edges. The orange glaze not only adds a pop of color but also infuses the madeleines with a zesty brightness that complements the nuttiness of the almond.

Ingredients

INGREDIENTS

  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon almond extract
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • Zest of 1 orange
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons fresh orange juice
  • 1/4 cup sliced almonds

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease the madeleine molds with butter or non-stick spray.
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together eggs and granulated sugar until pale and frothy.
  3. Add almond extract, melted butter, and orange zest, and mix well until combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined.
  5. Spoon the batter into the prepared madeleine molds, filling each one about 3/4 full.
  6. Sprinkle sliced almonds on top of the batter in each mold.
  7. Bake for 10-15 minutes or until the edges are golden brown and the centers spring back when lightly touched.
  8. Remove from the oven and let cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. In a small bowl, mix powdered sugar with fresh orange juice until smooth to create the glaze.
  10. Dip the cooled madeleines into the glaze, allowing excess to drip off, and let set on a wire rack.

Notes

Tip: For an extra burst of flavor, consider adding a few drops of orange blossom water to the glaze.

For best results, allow the madeleines to cool completely before glazing. This will help the glaze set properly and adhere to the cookies. If you don’t have almond extract, feel free to substitute it with vanilla extract for a different flavor profile.

These madeleines can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days, but they are best enjoyed fresh. If you want to freeze them, do so before glazing, and simply glaze once thawed.

Ingredients

INGREDIENTS

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 pounds ripe tomatoes, roughly chopped
  • 2 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/2 cup fresh basil leaves, chopped
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • Fresh basil leaves for garnish

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
  2. Add chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.
  3. Stir in minced garlic and cook for 1 more minute until fragrant.
  4. Add the chopped tomatoes, vegetable broth, and sugar. Season with salt and pepper.
  5. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and let simmer for 20 minutes, allowing flavors to meld.
  6. Remove from heat and stir in chopped basil and heavy cream.
  7. Use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth, or transfer to a blender in batches.
  8. Taste and adjust seasoning, then serve hot garnished with fresh basil leaves.

Notes

Tip: For a vegan version, substitute the heavy cream with coconut milk or omit it entirely for a lighter soup.

For best results, use ripe, in-season tomatoes for maximum flavor. If fresh tomatoes are not available, high-quality canned tomatoes can be a great substitute. Consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes if you like a bit of heat.

This soup can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove before serving. Pair with crusty bread for a complete meal!
