CHOCOLATE GLAZE



Chocolate Glaze image

This delicious icing was originally published for use with our clementine cake, but it can complement all kinds of desserts. It's best made in a double boiler, but if you don't have one, other pans will do, as described here.

Provided by John Willoughby

Categories     sauces and gravies

Time 20m

Yield About 1 3/4 cups

Number Of Ingredients 3

8 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped or chips
12 tablespoons (1 1/2 sticks) butter, room temperature and cut into 12 pieces
1 tablespoon corn syrup

Steps:

  • Heat a pan of water until simmering. Place all ingredients, plus 5 teaspoons water, in a slightly smaller metal or glass mixing bowl and set over the pan. Stir gently with a spatula until nearly all the chocolate has melted, then remove bowl from heat and set aside to finish melting, stirring occasionally until perfectly smooth, about 5 to 10 minutes. The glaze is ready to pour when it is between 88 and 90 degrees.
  • Pour glaze onto center of the cake's top and let it run down the sides. Gently tap the cooling rack up and down so the glaze coats the entire cake. Let set for at least an hour before serving.

CHOCOLATE GLAZE OR FROSTING



Chocolate Glaze or Frosting image

This is very quick to prepare and can be used immediately after making as a glaze to drizzle on your cake or dessert. You can let it sit a few minutes and it will thicken up into a delicious and creamy frosting. Or add a little more powdered sugar to thicken it even more. I have no idea of the number of servings because it would depend on what you were using it for. So I just stuck a number in because I had to put something there. But I would probably double it for a two layer cake. But for a glaze over a cake or dessert this would probably be plenty.

Time 5m

Yield 8-12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

3 tablespoons cocoa
2 tablespoons butter, melted
1 cup powdered sugar
3 tablespoons warm water
1/2 teaspoon vanilla

Steps:

  • Melt your butter.
  • Add all other ingredients.
  • Stir until well mixed and smooth.
  • Add more water if you want it thinner at this point.
  • If using as icing and you think it's too thick just let it sit for a few minutes.

Tips:

  • Use a double boiler or a heatproof bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water to melt the chocolate. This will help prevent the chocolate from burning or seizing.
  • If you don't have a double boiler, you can melt the chocolate in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the chocolate is melted and smooth.
  • Add a little bit of vegetable oil or corn syrup to the chocolate glaze to make it more shiny and smooth.
  • If the chocolate glaze is too thick, you can thin it out with a little bit of milk or cream.
  • If the chocolate glaze is too thin, you can thicken it up by adding a little bit of powdered sugar or cornstarch.
  • Let the chocolate glaze cool slightly before pouring it over the cake or other dessert. This will help prevent the glaze from running off the sides.
  • If you want to create a marbled effect, you can swirl different colors of chocolate glaze together before pouring it over the cake.

Conclusion:

Chocolate glaze is a versatile and delicious way to add a touch of elegance to any cake or dessert. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a beautiful and impressive glaze that will surely wow your friends and family. So next time you're looking for a special way to finish off your favorite dessert, give chocolate glaze a try. You won't be disappointed!
