Steps:
- Gather the ingredients.
- Combine the butter and chocolate in a saucepan over low heat and stir until melted. (Be careful not to overheat the chocolate as it could seize.) Alternatively, put the chocolate and butter in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave on medium for about 1 minute. Stir and continue to heat for about 15 seconds at a time, stirring between intervals, until the chocolate and butter are melted and smooth.
- Sift the confectioners' sugar into a small bowl.
- Stir the sifted confectioners' sugar into the melted butter and chocolate. Beat the mixture, adding small amounts of boiling water until thinned as desired. If you happen to find it too thin, add a little more powdered sugar. If too thick, add more hot water.
- Slowly drizzle the chocolate glaze from the pot or bowl over your cooled, finish baked good. If desired, use a spatula to evenly distribute. How long the glaze will take to harden will depend on both the temperature of the glaze and the room. Once cool, it will harden.

CHOCOLATE GLAZE OR FROSTING
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.

Tips:
- Use high-quality chocolate: The quality of your chocolate will greatly impact the flavor of your glaze. Use a chocolate that is at least 60% cacao for a rich, deep flavor.
- Temper your chocolate: Tempering your chocolate will help it to set smoothly and give it a glossy finish. To temper chocolate, melt it gently over a double boiler or in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until it reaches a temperature of 110-115°F (43-46°C). Then, remove it from the heat and stir constantly until it cools to 88-90°F (31-32°C). Finally, reheat it to 95-100°F (35-38°C) for use.
- Use heavy cream or milk: Heavy cream will give your glaze a richer, creamier texture, while milk will make it thinner and lighter. You can also use a combination of the two.
- Add flavorings: You can add a variety of flavorings to your glaze, such as vanilla extract, almond extract, cinnamon, chili powder, or even instant coffee powder. Get creative and experiment with different flavors to find your favorites.
- Let the glaze cool slightly before using: This will help it to thicken and set properly.
- Use the glaze immediately: Chocolate glaze will start to set quickly, so it is important to use it as soon as it is made.
Conclusion:
Chocolate glaze is a versatile and delicious topping that can be used on a variety of desserts, from cakes and cookies to pies and tarts. It is easy to make and can be customized to your own taste preferences. With a little practice, you can master the art of making chocolate glaze and impress your friends and family with your culinary skills.
