When melting butter or chocolate, the temperature of the water should not exceed 60 degrees. High temperatures will separate the oil and water. Use coconut oil instead of butter to fry the stuffing for a more fragrant flavor.
2. It’s also delicious to replace the cranberries in the filling with diced orange peel!
3. When pressing the mold, just use a thin layer of dry powder. If it sticks too much, it will make the skin look white and unsightly.
