CHOCOLATE GLAZE (THAT HARDENS WHEN COOL)
ISO: Chocolate Glaze that dries hard using cocoa and without... Saw this and found the answer. This would be good now with Valentine's Day is near. Try using it like those chocolate dips they have in ice cream shops; it hardens into a shell on the ice cream. Or use it to top your favorite cookie, cupcake, cheesecake, brownie, etc..

Tips:
- Use high-quality cocoa powder for the best flavor. A good cocoa powder will be dark and rich in color, and it will have a strong chocolate aroma.
- If you don't have a double boiler, you can create one by simmering a few inches of water in a saucepan and then placing a heatproof bowl over the saucepan.
- Make sure the chocolate glaze is completely cool before using it. If the glaze is too warm, it will be too thin and it won't set properly.
- You can use chocolate glaze to decorate cakes, cupcakes, cookies, and other desserts. It can also be used to make chocolate truffles and other candies.
