PRESENTATION

Financiers are these amazing French pastries with a story as rich as their taste. Originally shaped like coins, then like gold bars—because, you know, they were super popular among financial folks near the Paris stock exchange. And traditionally, they use almond flour and lots of butter. Really, they have this soft bite and slightly moist crumb.

Here's the twist: instead of the usual rectangle, they’re mini spheres now, like little bonbons. And the strawberry gelée dome on top? Oh, it’s the glossy, sweet jelly that’s just perfect with the tender almond cake. So so nostalgic, yet fresh. These are just right for parties or brunch, or whenever you feel like having something special.

And look, each one gets topped with whipped cream and maybe even an edible flower. Seriously, they’re almost too pretty to eat. Almost. But when you do take a bite, you get that almond cake flavor—light yet rich—with a bright, tangy punch from the easy strawberry dessert topping. That gelée sets fast, saving you kitchen time, which is great, making it a really really good quick strawberry recipe for something impressive without the fuss.

These treats fit perfectly at an elegant gathering. And, they’re just as wonderful when you want to indulge yourself. The simple French roots with a playful twist—these financiers with strawberry gelée are bringing a bit of Parisian flair wherever you go, especially with that golden finish and juicy strawberries on top. Whether it’s a big event or just a quiet moment, these are sure to add a touch of sophistication. **For sure.

Preparation

How to prepare Easy and Quick Financiers with Strawberry Gelée

To prepare the financiers with strawberry gelée, start by melting the butter over low heat and then let it cool. Beat the egg whites with powdered sugar using an electric mixer 1. Once they become slightly frothy, add the almond flour 2 and all-purpose flour 3.

Also pour in the cooled melted butter 4 and continue to work with the beaters. Flavor with the lemon zest 5 and mix with a spatula. Pour the batter into mini sphere silicone molds using a teaspoon 7. Bake in a static oven at 350°F (rounded from 180°C) for about 20 minutes. Once ready, remove from the oven and let cool.

Prepare the gelée: in a small bowl, pour cold water and soak the gelatin sheets for at least 10 minutes 7. Heat the strawberry syrup in a saucepan 8, add the lemon juice 9, and as soon as it reaches just below boiling, turn off the heat.

Then gently squeeze the gelatin and pour it into the saucepan 10. Stir with a whisk to completely dissolve the gelatin 11, then pour the mixture into a silicone mold with half-spheres of the same size as the pastries 12.

Transfer to the fridge and let set for at least 3 hours. Unmold the now cold pastries 13 and cut off the tops with a serrated knife 14, unmold your gelées 15.

Place each gelatin sphere on top of the financiers 16. Whip the cream with well-chilled beaters and bowl 17, place it in a piping bag 18.

Garnish the financiers with strawberry gelée with cream 19 and dehydrated flowers 20. You can serve your financiers with strawberry gelée 21!

Storage

You can store the financiers without gelée for 1-2 days under a glass dome.

You can store decorated financiers for 2-3 days in the refrigerator, preferably without cream.

You can freeze the financiers without the gelatin filling.

You can store the gelatin spheres in the fridge for about 1 week.

Tip

Replace almond flour with hazelnut flour, and to make the gelatin spheres original, you can insert small mint leaves inside the spheres before placing them in the fridge.
