-
Prepare the Dry Ingredients
Sift the almond powder, icing sugar, cornstarch, cocoa powder, and salt into a large bowl to remove lumps and ensure even mixing.
-
Combine Wet Ingredients
Add the cream and egg whites to the dry mixture. Whisk until the batter is smooth, ensuring all ingredients are well integrated.
-
Incorporate the Chocolate
Fold in the melted dark chocolate gently for a rich, cohesive batter. Refrigerate overnight for the best texture and flavor development.
-
Fill the Molds
Preheat the oven to 150°C. Pour the batter into silicone molds, ensuring they are filled evenly. Use a spatula to smooth the tops for a clean finish.
-
Bake to Perfection and Create a Filling Pocket
Bake the financiers for 12–15 minutes or until set and firm to the touch. Let them cool briefly before transferring them to the freezer for easy removal. Once the financiers are fully set, use a narrow piping nozzle to pierce a small hole in each center for your chosen filling.
