Advice

A water bath is used for melting and dissolving delicate foods and ingredients or for frothy mixing (especially for preparing various sauces and creams). Place a heatproof container with the ingredients on top of another container with hot water. Make sure the bottom of the container does not touch the water, and the water should not boil vigorously during melting. Instead of dark chocolate, you can use milk chocolate, and for sprinkling, use colorful crumbs, chopped almonds, fleur de sel, etc.
