Ingredients:
- 150g butter
- 90g sugar
- 150g pistachio powder
- 4 eggs
- 50g flour
- Frozen pistachio puree (poured into small ice cube molds beforehand)
- 1 tablespoon liquid pistachio puree
- Fresh raspberries
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 200°C (392°F).
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together sugar and eggs until well combined.
- Stir in pistachio powder and liquid pistachio puree.
- Melt the butter, allow it to cool slightly, and then incorporate it along with the flour into the mixture.
- Generously butter and flour your baking rings.
- Fill each ring with a quarter of the pistachio mixture. Place a few raspberries and a cube of frozen pistachio puree in the center of each.
- Cover the fillings with more pistachio mixture until the molds are nearly full.
- Bake for 8 minutes. The center should be molten, and the edges should be set.
- Allow the fondants to cool slightly before removing them from the rings. This helps maintain their shape.
Serving Suggestion: Top each fondant with a few fresh raspberries and sprinkle with both whole and crushed pistachios. While these can be enjoyed warm, they are exceptionally delicious when served cold, as the flavors intensify.
