For the Ganache
  1. Place the chopped chocolate into a small heat-proof bowl.
  2. Heat the cream in a small saucepan over medium heat until it just begins to simmer. Remove from the heat and pour the hot cream over the chocolate and allow to stand for 1 minute.
  3. Using a metal spoon or whisk, carefully stir until the chocolate has melted, is completely combined with the cream and is delicously smooth like molten chocolate!

  4. Set aside for 15 minutes to cool a little, then drizzle over the financiers.
Notes
  • Use this link for the Recipe for Gluten Free Flour Blend if required.
  • I find it easier to use a piping bag to pipe the batter into the mini bundt tins.
  • You could also use the classic financier pans, friand pans, or cup cake/muffin pans
