Use high-quality seedless raspberry jam for the smoothest glaze consistency.
Do not boil the jam, as this can alter the flavor and texture.
Add the chocolate curls and sugar just before serving to maintain their texture and appearance.
This topping is best served fresh; store any leftover jam separately in the refrigerator.
