Critical Success Points
- • Properly temper the chocolate (34‑35 °C) to obtain a shiny, snap‑crisp shell

- • Fold the whites into the ganache gently to retain volume
- • Allow shells and mousse to cool completely before unmolding
Safety Warnings
- • Be careful with very hot chocolate (45 °C) to avoid burns
- • Handle hot cream with caution to avoid scalding
