Chocolate curls, also called chocolate blossoms, are tightly curled rolls of chocolate for decorating cakes, cupcakes, pastries, truffles and desserts. Press them around a buttercream-covered cake, coat truffles and brigadeiros with them, or scatter a few over ice cream or a hot chocolate for an indulgent, traditional finish.
