HEARTS OF PASSION
Steps:
- Temper the 2 pounds of milk chocolate. Use a ladle to fill the heart shaped molds with chocolate. When the molds are full, empty the chocolate into a bowl. The inside of the molds should be evenly coated with chocolate. Wipe the edge of the mold clean and place the mold upside down on a wire rack placed over a baking sheet. Once the chocolate starts to harden, about 5 minutes, use a wide pastry scraper to clean the edges of each cavity. When the chocolate sets, it shrinks or retracts from the sides of the mold. A clean edge will keep it from sticking and cracking as it shrinks. You can place the mold in the refrigerator for several minutes to help the chocolate to harden.
- Place the cream, corn syrup and fresh passion juice in a pan and scald the mixture. Pour the hot cream mixture over the chopped chocolate and blend until smooth with an immersion hand blender. Add the Alize and the butter and blend until smooth with an immersion hand blender. Allow the mixture to come to 84 degrees. Place the mixture in a piping bag and pipe it into the chocolate filled molds. Let set overnight.
- To close the bottoms of each cavity, apply tempered chocolate with an offset spatula. Scrape clean and allow to set. When the chocolate has set, invert the mold over a clean dry surface. It may be necessary to rap the mold against the counter to encourage the chocolates to release from the mold.

Tips:
- Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and equipment ready. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling later on.
- Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better your dish will taste. If you can, try to use organic or locally-sourced ingredients whenever possible.
- Season your food well: Salt and pepper are essential for bringing out the flavor of your food. Don't be afraid to experiment with other spices and herbs to create your own unique flavor combinations.
- Cook your food to the proper temperature: Overcooked food is dry and tough, while undercooked food can be dangerous to eat. Use a meat thermometer to ensure that your food is cooked to the proper internal temperature.
- Don't overcrowd your pans: When you cook too much food in a pan at once, it doesn't cook evenly. This can lead to undercooked food in the center and overcooked food on the outside.
- Let your food rest before serving: This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the food, making it more tender and flavorful.
