Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 cup Semisweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 3 tablespoons Milk
- 1 pinch Salt
Directions
Step 1
In a small saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over low heat. Stir the butter occasionally to ensure it melts evenly without browning.
Step 2
Once the butter is fully melted, add the semisweet chocolate chips to the saucepan. Stir continuously until the chocolate chips are completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
Step 3
Remove the saucepan from the heat and sift in the powdered sugar to avoid lumps. Whisk the powdered sugar into the chocolate mixture until fully combined.
Step 4
Add the vanilla extract, milk, and a pinch of salt. Whisk until the glaze reaches a silky and pourable consistency. If the glaze is too thick, add a small amount of milk, one teaspoon at a time, until the desired consistency is achieved.
Step 5
Allow the glaze to cool slightly for 1-2 minutes before using. Drizzle the warm glaze over cakes, donuts, or other baked goods for a smooth and shiny finish.
Step 6
Let the glaze set for 10-15 minutes at room temperature before serving.
