Heat 40g of sugar dry in a frying pan. When the sugar turns liquid and golden, pour it onto a sheet of aluminium foil. Sprinkle the whole surface of the caramel with Essentiel salt and leave to harden. Break the caramel into small chips.

Whip up the egg whites to a light mousse (don’t let them rise). Toast the powdered almonds for a few minutes in a dry frying pan. Sieve the powdered almonds.

Grease the moulds and spread the mix into the moulds up to ¾ height. Push a few raspberries into each mould and place in the oven, pre-heated to 180°, for 15 minutes.

Take out of the oven, leave for a few minutes then remove from the moulds. Then place the salted caramel chips on the financiers and leave them to cool on a cooling tray.
