Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 cup Semisweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 3 tablespoons Milk
- 1 pinch Salt
Instructions
In a small saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over low heat. Stir the butter occasionally to ensure it melts evenly without browning.
Once the butter is fully melted, add the semisweet chocolate chips to the saucepan. Stir continuously until the chocolate chips are completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and sift in the powdered sugar to avoid lumps. Whisk the powdered sugar into the chocolate mixture until fully combined.
Add the vanilla extract, milk, and a pinch of salt. Whisk until the glaze reaches a silky and pourable consistency. If the glaze is too thick, add a small amount of milk, one teaspoon at a time, until the desired consistency is achieved.
Allow the glaze to cool slightly for 1-2 minutes before using. Drizzle the warm glaze over cakes, donuts, or other baked goods for a smooth and shiny finish.
Let the glaze set for 10-15 minutes at room temperature before serving.
