I’ll second Kerry, these moulds are the bane of my existence. They look so innocuous and yet are such a pain to demould. I made this batch earlier today and still crushed 3 of them when demoulding but I knew I got the temper right. I think it’s the depth + smoothness

Did you force them out with your finger or did you give the mold a tap and just had them fall out?

 

What's the ambient temp you're working at?

 

Did you use the fridge? If so, did you leave them at ambient temp for a bit before that?

 

What temp do you pour the chocolate?

 

Do you think it helps that you coated with cocoa butter first? Maybe it behaves the same way a filled chocolate would, with the white chocolate pulling the set cocoa butter back a little further.

 

Sorry for the interrogation! Just trying to get everything right.
