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..

Steps:
- Sift sugar, cocoa powder, and salt into a medium bowl; set aside.
- Put butter and cream cheese into the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Mix on medium-high until fluffy. Reduce speed to low. Gradually add sugar mixture. Mix in chocolate and sour cream. Use immediately.
Tips:
- For the best results, use unsweetened chocolate that has a cocoa content of at least 70%. This will give the icing a rich, chocolatey flavor.
- Make sure that the butter is softened before you begin making the icing. This will help it to cream together with the sugar more easily.
- If you want a thicker icing, you can add more powdered sugar. If you want a thinner icing, you can add more milk.
- You can flavor the icing with vanilla extract, almond extract, or coffee extract. You can also add chopped nuts, dried fruit, or sprinkles.
- The icing can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
Conclusion:
This old-fashioned chocolate icing is a delicious and versatile frosting that can be used on cakes, cupcakes, cookies, and brownies. It is easy to make and can be customized to your liking. Give it a try today!
