  3. Wrap the filo sheet around the knitting needle leaving out an edge of about 2 cm which will form the base of the nest for the chocolate.

  6. Join the edges of each half to form a nest and press them to seal, making sure that the excess edge of the filo sheet that you didn't wrap, is at the bottom in order to form the base for the chocolate to be held in.

  8. Boil the ingredients for the syrup for about 5 minutes and then pour over the nests when they cool a bit. When they cool completely, fill half of them with the ganache and the rest with the white chocolate.
