- 130 g butter molten
- 45 g cake flour
- liquid vanilla
- 40 cl whipping cream 30% minimum fat

Instructions
- Start by melting the butter. Grease a 22 cm diameter cake pan with a piece of butter.

- Remove it from the oven, unmold the hazelnut financier on a wire rack, and let it cool.
- Put the cold whole liquid cream in the cold electric mixer bowl. Start mixing at low speed, then accelerate gradually.
- When the cream has taken shape and is firm, add the liquid honey, then finish mixing the whole with a mixer for a few seconds.
- At the bottom of the cooled financier, place the honey whipped cream using a pastry bag fitted with a large plain tip, starting with the outer edge.
- Make peaks all around (see the video below). Also garnish the inside with a layer of honey whipped cream.
- Cut in half and pit the washed and wiped mirabelle plums, then place them on the pie, curved side down, starting with the outside.
- Continue towards the inside of the pie until it is completely filled.

I made this and it was so simple except for removing the pips from the Mirabelle! Didn’t have the right popping nozzle but still looked very pretty. The financier was a dream, perfect balance of flavours, everyone enjoyed it. Will make again with peaches.
