A very simple and fruity recipe today, a financier with almonds and blueberries. I used frozen blueberries, you can of course replace them with other fruits depending on the season or what you have in the freezer (raspberries, apricots, apples ...). I reused Cyril Lignac's financier recipe, but in a version to share this time. You can of course use the mould you want, you will just have to adapt the cooking according to the size of it !
