Note: Storage: The financiers can be stored in an air-tight container for up to one week. They can be frozen for up to two months.
The batter can be frozen raw, place a piece of plastic wrap directly on top of the batter to prevent a skin from forming.
*For the raspberry puree, use purchased frozen fruit puree such as Boiron or Perfect Puree. To prepare raspberry puree from scratch: Combine 1 ½ cups frozen raspberries, a pinch of salt, and ¼ cups of sugar in a small sauce pot. Bring to a low simmer and cook for 20 – 25 minutes or until the mixture has thickened. Strain through a fine mesh strainer.
