Instructions
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips and unsalted butter.
Microwave the mixture on high for 30 seconds, then stir. Continue microwaving in 15-second increments, stirring after each interval, until the chocolate and butter are fully melted and smooth.
Stir in the milk until well combined.
Sift the powdered sugar into the bowl to prevent lumps, then whisk until the mixture is smooth and glossy.
Add the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt, stirring to combine.
Let the glaze cool for 1-2 minutes to thicken slightly. Use immediately by drizzling over desserts or as a dipping sauce.
