Ingredients
- 2 ounces semi-sweet chocolate
- 2 teaspoons butter (or shortening)
Instructions
- Melt chocolate & butter in the microwave on 30% power until smooth.
- Pour onto a baking pan and using an offset spatula, spread chocolate as thin as possible.
- Place in the freezer for 3-4 minutes or until firm. Use a spatula or scraper to scrape the chocolate off the pan and make curls. If the chocolate begins to soften too much, pop it back into the freezer for a couple of minutes.
- Once curled, place the pan back in the fridge until ready to use. Transfer the curls to your dessert using a spatula.
