Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 150 grams Semi-sweet chocolate
- 50 grams Unsalted butter
- 50 grams Powdered sugar
- 60 ml Whole milk
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Instructions
Chop the semi-sweet chocolate into small, even pieces and set aside.
In a small saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over low heat.
Once the butter has melted, add the chopped chocolate to the saucepan. Stir continuously until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth.
Sift the powdered sugar into the saucepan to prevent lumps. Stir well until fully combined.
Gradually add the whole milk, a little at a time, while stirring constantly to achieve a smooth and glossy consistency.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Allow the glaze to cool for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, to thicken slightly before using.
Pour the glaze over your desired dessert, smoothing it out quickly with a spatula or spoon if needed. Let it set for a glossy finish.
