Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 120 grams semisweet chocolate chips or chopped semisweet chocolate
- 30 grams unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon light corn syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
In a small heatproof bowl, combine the semisweet chocolate and unsalted butter.
Set up a double boiler by placing the heatproof bowl over a saucepan with simmering water, ensuring the bottom of the bowl does not touch the water.
Stir the chocolate and butter mixture constantly with a spatula until completely melted and smooth.
Once melted, remove the bowl from the heat and stir in the light corn syrup until the glaze develops a glossy sheen.
Mix in the vanilla extract and stir well to combine.
Allow the glaze to cool slightly, but don't let it harden, so it is still pourable.
Drizzle or spread the glaze over your desired dessert. Let it set at room temperature before serving.
