Passion Rosé

White Chocolate heart shells

1. Temper chocolate according to brand’s instructions. Paint the polycarbonate molds with cocoa butter (red, pink, white) let it cool down.
2. Fill the chocolate mold.
3. Use a bench scraper to tap the side of the mold. This gets the chocolate to drop all the way into the depression.
4. Remove excess chocolate, turn the mold upside-down and tap some more on the side of it with your bench scraper. A layer of chocolate will remain, coating each depression, and the rest should come raining out.
5. Scrape. Run your bench scraper along the inverted mold to remove any remaining excess chocolate.
6. Cool down until chocolate sets.
7. Unmold
