It is very important to follow the instructions and use the microwave method. If you boil the cream in a saucepan and add the chocolate to it, there can be too much residual heat and the filling will split losing that wonderful top sheen.
It is also important to have everything weighed out so that there is no delay in going from one action to the next. Follow the rules this exquisite tart is loved and appreciate by all.
