chocolate shavings

Scraped dessert topping

Chocolate shavings are thin curls or flakes of chocolate, typically produced by scraping a block of chocolate with a knife or peeler.

They serve as a decorative garnish on desserts, cakes, and drinks: The tiramisu was topped with chocolate shavings.

Finer shavings are sometimes called chocolate curls.
