Easy Chocolate Glaze without Corn Syrup Recipe

This Chocolate Glaze is made without corn syrup! If you’re a home-baker and enjoy making chocolate glazed cakes, you’ve probably used a lot of corn syrup along the way. It’s often called for in those sweet glazes that make cakes so pretty! But corn syrup does have a lot of sugar and isn’t very healthy, so you may be looking for an alternative.

Ingredients

  • 2 oz unsweetened chocolate coarsely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons boiling water

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Combine the butter and chocolate in a saucepan over very low heat and stir until melted. Use very low heat and stir often as too much heat can cause the chocolate to seize.
  2. Sift the powdered sugar into a small bowl.
  3. Stir the sugar into the melted butter and chocolate. Beat the mixture, adding small amounts of boiling water until the mixture has thinned to the desired consistency. If the glaze becomes too thin, add more powdered sugar to thicken it up. If it isn’t as thin as you want, add a small amount of hot water.
  4. Use the glaze on cooled baked goods like cake, donuts, cookies, etc. The glaze will harden as it cools.
