  1. Cut into 4 equal wedges and move a clean palette knife over the chocolate cream. Remove with a jerk so as to get a wavy uneven surface.
  2. To make the chocolate cigar, spread the tempered chocolate in a thin layer on a clean formica / granite or marble surface using a palate knife.
  3. With a firm grip on the palate knife and employing a steady amount of pressure, slowly draw the knife in a straight line down the layer of chocolate. You can use your free hand to help form the chocolate into nice curls and keep aside.
  4. Place a couple of chocolate cigars on top of each pastry. Serve chilled.
