Chocolate Glaze

By Snowy0wl

Here’s how I made the glaze. It’s a pour on glaze that sets as it cools – kind of like the kind of chocolate glaze on a donut.

Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1/4 cup Ghirardelli sweet ground chocolate and cocoa powder
• 1 tablespoon dutch process cocoa powder
• 1 1/2 tablespoons heavy cream, half & half or milk (any of those will work, I used cream)
• 1 cup (you can use more or less if desired) of confectioners sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon vanilla
• Pinch of salt

Preparation

Step 1

In a heavy saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Whisk in chocolate, both cocoa powders and cream; whisk until smooth. Remove pan from heat and whisk in half of the confectioners sugar. Whisk until incorporated. Whisk in remaining. It will be lumpy at first, so continue whisking until smooth. Whisk in vanilla and salt. Work quickly so that it doesn’t get to stiff. Pour it over top of brownies in pan and allow glaze to set. To speed up the process, you can put the glazed brownies in the refrigerator.
