By naqgal90

Ingredients

• For the chocolate glaze:
• 5 Tbs. unsalted butter
• 4 oz. semisweet chocolate chips
• 2 cups confectioners’ sugar
• 11/2 tsp. vanilla extract
• 1/4 cup hot water

Preparation

Step 1

To make the chocolate glaze, fill the bottom pan of a double boiler with 1 inch of water and bring to a simmer over medium heat. In the top pan of the double boiler, melt the butter and chocolate chips. Remove from the heat and whisk in the confectioners’ sugar, vanilla and hot water until combined. Set the top pan over the simmering water and keep the glaze warm until ready to use.

Variation: To make a vanilla glaze, follow the instructions for preparing the chocolate glaze, omitting the chocolate chips and decreasing the hot water to 3 Tbs.
