How to Make Chocolate Curls
When making desserts, chocolate is always a popular addition. It can be used to make the dessert itself, in the case of chocolate cherry cheesecake recipes for example, or it can be used to make a garnish for the dessert. A chocolate cherry cheesecake might be nice garnished with chocolate curls. You have probably seen these in restaurants but did you know how simple they are to make?
To make chocolate curls, you should start with a block of chocolate and a vegetable peeler. Use your hand on the chocolate to warm it up a bit. To save time, you can microwave it for three or four seconds. Do not give it too long, else it will not curl well.
Curling the Chocolate
Pull the vegetable peeler along the chocolate. Big pieces of chocolate can be used for making big curls. Keep the curls somewhere dry and cool until you are ready to use them, and then use toothpicks to transfer them on to your chocolate cherry cheesecake so your warm hands do not melt them.
