Description
Delicious chocolate financiers perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter (to grease the molds or mini cups)
- ⅔ cup heavy cream
- 5 ounces semisweet chocolate (chopped)
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- ⅓ cup almond flour or finely ground almonds
- 4 ½ tablespoons all-purpose flour
- ⅛ teaspoon baking powder
- pinch salt
- 3 egg whites (at room temperature)
- 4 ½ tablespoons unsalted butter
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350ºF (180°C). Butter 9 regular financier molds or about 18 mini muffin pans with 1 tablespoon unsalted butter.
- Put chopped 5 ounces semisweet chocolate in a bowl. Bring ⅔ cup heavy cream to a boil in a small saucepan over medium heat. Pour over chocolate, let stand 1 minute and then whisk until completely smooth.
- Whisk together ½ cup powdered sugar, ⅓ cup almond flour or finely ground almonds, 4 ½ tablespoons all-purpose flour, ⅛ teaspoon baking powder and pinch salt in a large bowl.
- Whisk 3 egg whites in a clean bowl just until foamy. Pour over the dry ingredients and stir to blend with a spatula.
- Add 4 ½ tablespoons unsalted butter, melted, and mix. Add this mixture to the ganache and integrate, mixing as little as possible.
- Spoon or pour (transfer the mixture to a pitcher) the financier batter into the molds, filling ¾ of capacity. Bake for 13 to 15 minutes, until the tops are dry and a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Don’t overbake them!
- Cool on a wire rack before unmolding them.
Notes
- Ensure the egg whites are at room temperature for best results.
- Do not overmix the batter after combining wet and dry ingredients.
