Bring the ceps and double cream to a boil in a large saucepan. Add to the chopped white chocolate and stir until melted. Allow to cool and then pass the liquid through a fine sieve
Spread the mixture evenly on a tray and place in the fridge until it has set. Use a Parisian scoop to make small cep cream balls. Chill until needed

Temper the chocolate by melting two-thirds of it in a saucepan at 58°C. Once melted, add the remaining third. The temperature should have dropped to 23°C. Heat gradually until the temperature reaches 32°C
