For the filling, chop the chocolate couverture into a bowl. Heat the whipping cream, pour it over the chocolate, and stir until melted. Add butter in small pieces and mix well. Let the mixture cool until it starts to thicken. Stir vigorously again, then fill a piping bag with a star tip. Pipe the chocolate cream into the pastry squares, reassemble, dust with powdered sugar, and serve.
