Hello food lovers!
I go through phases, I think you already know that!! And right now, I’m all about pistachio!! I just love it…
Today, I’m sharing my pistachio and raspberry financiers.
Pistachio and raspberry financiers, a guaranteed hit!
My batch disappeared faster than you can say it, it was a real tidal wave!! From my husband to my third child, it was a total success! A melt-in-your-mouth softness, a slightly crispy crust, and the sweet-tart flavor of raspberry conquered our gourmand taste buds!! Needless to say, these pistachio and raspberry financiers have already been made again…
My tip to never fail your piping again
But this recipe I’m sharing today has an extra that my other recipes don’t: it will let you try the famous Tube from De Buyer. No more piping bag struggles for beginners, no more messy filling, and hello to ease!! Super practical filling, no mixture wasted, even piping thanks to the handle, varied nozzles, and the possibility to put hot preparations (think about how tricky it is sometimes to fill verrines, now you have the solution!!).
My passion for pistachio
Pistachio is a delicious little nut, known not only for its unique flavor but also for its many nutritional benefits. Originating from the Middle East, it is now appreciated worldwide, whether as a snack, in desserts, or even in savory dishes.
Rich in protein, fiber, vitamins (especially B6), and minerals like magnesium and potassium, pistachios are a top health ally. They contribute to cardiovascular health thanks to their unsaturated fats which help lower “bad” cholesterol. Plus, their antioxidant content helps fight cellular aging.
Eating pistachios can also promote satiety, making them an ideal snack to control appetite and avoid snacking. Their fiber content improves digestion and regulates intestinal transit.
In cooking, pistachio adds a sweet and slightly nutty flavor, perfect for pastries, ice creams, salads, or even savory dishes. Its characteristic green color also adds a visually appealing touch to recipes.
In summary, pistachios are a healthy and versatile treat, combining pleasure and nutritional benefits to enrich our daily diet.

I also really (really) love raspberries
Raspberry, this little bright red fruit with a sweet and tangy flavor, is much more than just a summer treat. It’s packed with health benefits and deserves a special place in our diet.
Originating from temperate regions, raspberries are rich in vitamins, especially vitamin C, which plays a key role in strengthening the immune system and protecting against infections. Their fiber content promotes healthy digestion and helps regulate intestinal transit.
This small fruit is also an excellent source of antioxidants, such as flavonoids and anthocyanins, which protect cells against oxidative stress, responsible for premature aging and some chronic diseases like cardiovascular illnesses. The antioxidants in raspberries also help reduce inflammation in the body.
Raspberries are low in calories, making them an ideal snack for those who want to stay fit while enjoying themselves. Additionally, they have a low glycemic index, beneficial for blood sugar regulation, especially for people with diabetes.
Beyond their benefits, raspberries are very versatile in the kitchen. They can be eaten fresh, in smoothies, fruit salads, jams, or desserts. Their unique taste adds freshness and lightness to many dishes.

Now, let’s get back to our pistachio and raspberry financiers recipe!
You will need pistachio powder. It’s not always easy to find. You can simply take whole pistachios, shelled and unsalted. Grind them in a blender (or hand blender or Thermomix) and voilà! Pistachio packets often weigh 125g; you can complete up to 150g (the amount needed for the recipe) with 25g of almond powder.
The necessary utensils are:
My financier molds (Elastomoules De Buyer… you know them well ;-)),
A large mixing bowl,
A whisk (electric or not),
The Tube to make filling the molds easier,
And a spatula.
(and the metal tray can be found here, many of you have asked me since this article was published 😉 )
Alright, I think we can get started…
The recipe, Chef!
