How to make chocolate glaze
This chocolate glaze is made with just a few basic ingredients from the pantry. You’ll need chocolate, heavy cream, honey, and vanilla extract. That’s it!
Just warm the cream over the stove until it’s simmering, then pour it over the chocolate. You can use chopped chocolate from a bar or chocolate chips. Let that stand for a minute or two, while you add the other ingredients.
Honey makes this glaze gorgeously shiny, and keeps it pliable. And vanilla extract add up to a the flavor.
Does this chocolate glaze harden?
As the chocolate glaze cools, it does thicken up. But it really won’t become hard at all, so that’s good if you’re using it to top a cake or bars. You’ll still be able to slice through it easily.
If you find your chocolate glaze becoming thick before you’re ready, just warm it back up in the microwave for 10 to 20 seconds, and stir. That should keep it nice and workable for you.
