·         Fill in the cups with the filling of your taste.

Heating the couverture

Put the chocolate into a small steel bowl and place it over a pot with water. Simmer on low flame stirring gently to keep the temperature. Don’t let it reach T1. When the chocolate melts, let it cool to T2 while stirring, then add 2-3 more pieces of chocolate and place onto the pot with water 40°C again. Stir everything until you reach T3. You can check if the couverture is ready while pouring some drops on the baking paper. If in 5 minutes it becomes hard and glossy, it is ready. Use it until it is warm.
