How to prepare Valentine's Day chocolates

1. Prepare the ganache

Chop the chocolate into small pieces to make it easier to melt and heat the chocolate in a bain-marie or in the microwave up to 45ºC.
Temper the melted chocolate, add the raspberry purée and the room temperature butter at the end.
Stir evenly and at a constant pace until you obtain a shiny, well-bound cream.

3. Stretch and cool the ganache

Stretch the ganache in a container that will give us a height of 1 cm.
Place the container in the refrigerator for 10 minutes.

6. Cut and cover the chocolates

Once the ganache is firm, remove it from the mould and cut it into small 2cm chocolates.
Melt additional chocolate in a double boiler or in the microwave in short intervals (20 seconds) to prevent burning. Up to 45ºC.
Temper the coating to 30ºC.
Using a fork, dip each bonbon into the melted chocolate, making sure they are completely covered, and place them on a baking sheet lined with baking paper.

7. Decorate and cool the chocolates

Before the chocolate hardens, you can decorate the bonbons by sprinkling a little dried raspberry on top if you wish.
Place them in a Tupperware in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes, until the chocolate coating is completely firm.

8. Enjoy your chocolates!

Store your chocolates in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
Take them out 2 hours before consumption at 20ºC.
