Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 0.5 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 pinch salt
Instructions
In a small saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over low heat until fully liquefied, taking care not to brown it.
Add the unsweetened cocoa powder to the melted butter, whisking constantly until smooth and glossy, about 1 minute.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the powdered sugar, alternating with the milk, until the mixture is smooth. Add more milk, 1 teaspoon at a time, if a thinner consistency is desired.
Stir in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt to balance the sweetness and enhance the chocolate flavor.
Let the glaze cool for 1-2 minutes to slightly thicken. Use immediately by pouring, drizzling, or spreading over your desired baked goods.
Allow the glaze to set at room temperature for 10-15 minutes for a shiny, firm finish.
