For the filling, chop the couverture chocolate into small pieces and melt gently over a bain‑marie. Whip the cream to stiff peaks. Stir the butter into the melted chocolate with a whisk. Once the chocolate has cooled, fold in the whipped cream. Spread the filling on half of the macarons and sandwich with the remaining ones.
