I flew to Melbourne last week and immediately headed to Madeleine de Proust on Lygon St in Carlton.

Make your way inside and stare at the rows of different flavoured madeleines. There were flavours like yuzu, caramel and pandan but I had my heart set on the Poppin Corn.

It’s inspired by a Korean ice-cream and the brown butter madeleine is filled with a mixture of cream cheese and buttery cooked corn and then topped with a popcorn ganache piped to look like corn kernels.

I bought a few more to eat later, the Yuzu madeleine is beautifully buttery with a lovely yuzu flavour.

The peanut butter and jam is a brown butter madeleine and a bit on the sweet side but I loved the peanut butter cream with the mixed berries jam.

And finally the Raffaelo was a citrus madeleine with passionfruit ganache, hazelnut praline and toasty white chocolate and coconut.
