Yield Makes about 6 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 12

For brownie
2 1/2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter
1 cup sugar
4 large eggs
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
3/4 cup all purpose flour
1 cup coarsely chopped toasted hazelnuts
For topping
12 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped
3 ounces good-quality white chocolate (such as Lindt or Baker's), chopped

Steps:

  • Make brownie:
  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Butter and flour 15 x 10 x 1-inch jelly-roll pan. Stir chocolate and butter in heavy medium saucepan over medium-low heat until melted and smooth. Remove from heat. Combine sugar, eggs and salt in heavy large saucepan. Whisk constantly over low heat just until sugar dissolves, about 5 minutes (do not boil). Remove from heat. Whisk in chocolate mixture and vanilla. Whisk in flour and nuts. Spread batter in pan. Bake until tester inserted into center comes out with some moist crumbs still attached, about 30 minutes. Cool brownies completely in pan on rack.
  • Make topping:
  • Stir semisweet chocolate in top of double boiler over barely simmering water until smooth. Remove from over water. Spread over brownie.
  • Stir white chocolate in top of double boiler over barely simmering water until smooth. Spoon into resealable plastic bag. Cut very tip off 1 corner of bag. Pipe lines of white chocolate crosswise atop brownie, spacing lines 1 inch apart. Draw a toothpick lengthwise across lines, alternating direction from left to right and right to left, to create marbled pattern. Chill just until firm enough to cut, about 30 minutes. Cut into small squares. (Can be made 3 days ahead. Refrigerate in single layer in airtight containers. Bring to room temperature before serving.)

Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate: The quality of the chocolate you use will directly affect the taste of your glaze. Choose a chocolate that is at least 70% cacao for a rich, fudgy flavor.
  • Don't overheat the chocolate: Overheating chocolate can cause it to seize and become grainy. Heat the chocolate slowly and gently, stirring constantly, until it is just melted.
  • Add a little bit of corn syrup: Corn syrup helps to prevent the glaze from crystallizing and becoming grainy. Add a tablespoon or two of corn syrup to your glaze while it is still warm.
  • Let the glaze cool slightly before using: This will help to prevent the glaze from being too runny and difficult to work with. Let the glaze cool for a few minutes before pouring it over your cake or other dessert.

Conclusion:

A fudgy chocolate glaze is a delicious and versatile way to add a touch of elegance to your favorite desserts. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a glaze that is rich, decadent, and sure to impress. Whether you are making a cake, pie, or ice cream, a fudgy chocolate glaze is the perfect finishing touch.
