Note

For best results, use high-quality chocolate to create large, elegant curls using a vegetable peeler on a block of chocolate.

If you prefer a thicker glaze, reduce the melted jelly slightly by simmering it for an additional minute before pouring.

This topping is best served immediately to prevent the chocolate curls from melting or becoming soggy from the moisture of the strawberries.

You can substitute raspberry or cherry jelly for a different flavor profile that still complements the fresh berries.
