Silky tips
Always let cream cool slightly before whisking in yolks to prevent curdling.
Use quality dark chocolate (70% cacao) for the best flavor - avoid chocolate chips.
Chill uncovered for first thirty minutes to prevent condensation on surface.
Rich tips
Grease molds lightly if planning to unmold for presentation.
