A quick guide to prepare appealing and highly presentable curls of chocolate. The chocolate curls can be placed on cakes, pies, sundaes or ice creams. Ingredients 1 bar or thick piece of chocolate Method Bring a thick piece or bar of chocolate to room temperature (chocolate which is too warm will slice and chocolate which is too cold will grate).

Use a skewer or toothpick to transfer the curls to the dessert or cake you wish to garnish. Use pieces of the garnish of mocha mouse cake.
