# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • The ratio of chocolate to cream creates this impossibly silky texture that coats everything perfectly
  • Its romantic without being fussy, and the whole ritual of dipping creates such lovely conversation
02 -
  • If your chocolate starts looking grainy or separated, whisk in a tiny splash of cold cream and it usually comes back to life
  • Room temperature fruit actually works better than cold fruit because it doesn't cool down the chocolate as quickly
03 -
  • Chop your chocolate into uniform pieces before melting so everything heats evenly and you don't end up with random chunks
  • Have everything prepped and ready before you start melting because chocolate waits for absolutely no one
