Recipe Tips

Make Ahead
This elegant dessert can be preparead ahead of time. Cover and refrigerate up to 24 hours. Then, use the time to attend to the other party details.
Substitute
Prepare as directed, using vanilla instant pudding mix.
How to Make Chocolate Curls
Melt chocolate as directed on package. Spread with spatula into a very thin layer on baking sheet. Refrigerate 10 min. or until chocolate is firm but still pliable. To make curls, push a metal spatula firmly along the baking sheet, under the chocolate, so the chocolate curls as it is pushed. (If chocolate is too firm to curl, let stand a few min. at room temperature; refrigerate again if it becomes too soft.) Use a toothpick to carefully place each chocolate curl on a wax paper-covered tray. Refrigerate 15 min. or until firm. Use a toothpick to arrange the curls on top of dessert.
