Ingredients:
– 1 cup of chocolate chips (semi-sweet or milk chocolate, your preference)
– 1/4 cup of heavy cream
– 1 tablespoon of corn syrup
– 1 tablespoon of butter
Directions:
1. Begin by melting the chocolate chips in a double boiler over low heat. If you don’t have a double boiler, you can make one by filling a pot halfway with water and placing a heat-proof bowl on top, making sure that the bottom of the bowl doesn’t touch the water.
2. Once the chocolate is melted, add the heavy cream and corn syrup, and stir until the mixture is combined and smooth.
3. Add the butter, and continue to stir until the butter is melted and fully incorporated into the chocolate mixture.
4. Remove the glaze from the heat, and let it cool for a few minutes until it reaches room temperature.
5. Once the glaze has cooled slightly, you can begin to use it to decorate your desserts. If the glaze is too thick, you can thin it out by adding a small amount of milk or cream until it reaches your desired consistency.
6. Drizzle the glaze over your desserts, or use a knife or spatula to spread it over the surface of a cake or pastry.
And there you have it! A simple and chocolate glaze that will take your desserts to the next level. Whether you’re making a birthday cake, doughnuts, or even just some chocolate-covered strawberries, this glaze is sure to impress. And the best part? You can customize it to your liking by using different types of chocolate, adding flavors like vanilla or peppermint extract, or adjusting the amount of corn syrup to make it thicker or thinner. So go ahead and experiment, and let your sweet tooth be your guide!
