Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 ounces White chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup Heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter
- 1/2 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Instructions
Prepare a heat-safe bowl by placing the white chocolate chips in it.
In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium-low heat until it begins to steam. Avoid letting it come to a boil.
Remove the heavy cream from the heat and pour it over the white chocolate chips in the bowl.
Let the mixture sit undisturbed for 2 minutes to allow the chocolate to soften.
Using a whisk or spatula, gently stir the mixture until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth.
Add the unsalted butter and vanilla extract to the glaze, stirring until fully combined and glossy.
If the glaze is too thick, you can whisk in a teaspoon of additional warmed cream at a time until it reaches your desired consistency.
Allow the glaze to cool slightly, then drizzle or pour it over your baked goods. It will set as it cools.
