Ingredients
- 120 grams semisweet chocolate chips or chopped semisweet chocolate
- 30 grams unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon light corn syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Directions
Step 1
In a small heatproof bowl, combine the semisweet chocolate and unsalted butter.
Step 2
Set up a double boiler by placing the heatproof bowl over a saucepan with simmering water, ensuring the bottom of the bowl does not touch the water.
Step 3
Stir the chocolate and butter mixture constantly with a spatula until completely melted and smooth.
Step 4
Once melted, remove the bowl from the heat and stir in the light corn syrup until the glaze develops a glossy sheen.
Step 5
Mix in the vanilla extract and stir well to combine.
Step 6
Allow the glaze to cool slightly, but don't let it harden, so it is still pourable.
Step 7
Drizzle or spread the glaze over your desired dessert. Let it set at room temperature before serving.
