Coconut Banana Balls

Let the water only gently simmer so the couverture doesn't get too hot.

Make sure no water or steam gets into the bowl, otherwise the couverture can seize.

If you use rum extract, add it at the very end to keep the flavor more intense.

The riper the banana, the sweeter and more aromatic the balls will be.

If the mixture is very soft, chill briefly in the refrigerator; if it's too firm, gently warm it a little in the double boiler.

In the fridge it cools faster; stir once in between so the mixture sets evenly.

Quickly rinse your hands with cold water or slightly moisten them — the mixture will stick less.
