Take a culinary brush and grease the molds with the first layer of chocolate, and then put in the refrigerator until completely frozen. As it hardens, coat again, and so 2-3 times.

Arrange the curd mass in the molds so that the bottom of the future cheeses is flat. Lubricate it with chocolate several times and refrigerate for 20 minutes. After that, you can carefully remove the cheese from the molds and serve.
