Chocolate Glaze
Ingredients
- 1 ounce unsweetened chocolate, chopped (1 square)
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1/4 cup cream
- 3 tablespoons hot water
- 1 cup confectioners' powdered sugar, sifted
This dark and glossy glaze is a great addition to many cookies, cakes, pastries, and even ice cream that need a chocolate boost. Add it to a chocolate cookie and the glaze sends them over the top!
Why Try? Need a chocolate fix? This will definitely take care of it.
Foodie Byte: Very versatile, this glaze can be drizzled or applied with a small offset spatula. An easy way to coat cookies is by dunking them upside-down in this rich but somewhat thin icing. Makes 3/4 cup glaze
Preparation
- In double broiler, melt butter and chocolate; stir until well combined.
- Remove from chocolate mixture from double broiler, add heavy cream and hot water. Stir until well blended.
- Add powdered sugar; stir until completely dissolved and smooth.
