Easy Chocolate Glaze
Report
Chocolate glaze is a delicious way to add a little chocolate flavor. Its glossy finish adds an extra touch to many desserts.

Ingredients
- 3¼ ounces dark chocolate good quality (I use a chocolate with 52% cocoa)
- 3 tablespoons cream whole/whipping or heavy cream at least 30% fat content
- 2 tablespoons butter (salted)
Instructions
- In a small / medium bowl via bain-marie, add the cream, butter and chocolate broken in pieces, heat over medium heat until the butter is melted and the mixture is hot.
- Remove the pot from the heat and stir until the mixture is smooth.
- Once the glaze has cooled slightly, pour it over your desired dessert and use a spatula to spread or drizzle it evenly or if glazing donuts, dip the donuts in the glaze and place on a wire rack or plate.
- The longer the glaze sits the thicker and harder it will become. So if you are looking for drips on your cake don’t let it sit too long.
- Let the glaze set for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy!
Notes
- I took a baking course at a college in Toronto and the chef told us that the secret to a shiny glaze was to add a teaspoon of corn syrup. I also prefer to use good quality chocolate than cocoa powder.
- To make the glaze with a microwave - Add the ingredients to a microwave safe dish, place it in the microwave and heat it on high power for 30 seconds. Remove it and gave it a stir. Continue to heat it for 10 second intervals until the glaze is smooth and combined.
- Any leftovers should be stored in an airtight container or with plastic wrap touching the top of the ganache to prevent a skin forming, in the fridge. It will keep for up to 7-10 days in the fridge.
