Step

Heat cream, glucose and inverted sugar. Bring to a boil then pour
slowly pour the boiling mixture over the chopped couverture,
mixing at the center to create an elastic and glossy ‘core’, what marks the beginning of the emulsion. Maintain this texture
until the end. Continue adding the liquid gradually. Mix. Add
