Chocolate Glaze Recipe

 
Chocolate glaze is very versatile and can be used on almost any sweet dish to enhance it and add an extra chocolate flavor.


Chocolate glaze is the perfect addition to any cake or dessert. Its smooth and glossy texture adds a rich flavor and a beautiful finish. This glaze is easy to make and will make your cake even more delicious. You can use it to cover cakes, mousses, cookies, or as a decoration for other desserts.

Ingredients Chocolate Glaze Recipe:

    150 g dark chocolate (you can also use milk chocolate if preferred)

    100 ml heavy cream (35% fat)

    1 tablespoon butter (optional)

    1 tablespoon powdered sugar (optional)

Instructions for Chocolate Glaze Recipe:

Melt the chocolate: Melt the chocolate over a double boiler or in the microwave. Be careful not to overheat it and burn it. If using a microwave, melt the chocolate in intervals of 20-30 seconds.

Prepare the cream: In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream until it becomes warm but does not boil! Once it's warm, remove it from the heat.

Combine the ingredients: Add the melted chocolate to the warm cream and stir until you get a smooth glaze. If you want a shinier texture, you can add a tablespoon of butter. If you prefer a sweeter glaze, you can also add a tablespoon of powdered sugar.

Cool the glaze: Let the glaze cool to room temperature. Once it reaches the right temperature, pour it over the cake. The glaze will thicken slightly as it cools but will remain somewhat liquid, which makes it perfect for covering the cake.

 Let the glaze set: Once the glaze is poured over the cake, let it cool and set. If you want it to set more quickly, you can place the cake in the fridge for about 15-20 minutes.

This is a very simple and delicious chocolate glaze that will beautifully cover your cake and give it a lovely shine!
