Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 0.5 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 pinch salt
Directions
Step 1
In a small saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over low heat until fully liquefied, taking care not to brown it.
Step 2
Add the unsweetened cocoa powder to the melted butter, whisking constantly until smooth and glossy, about 1 minute.
Step 3
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the powdered sugar, alternating with the milk, until the mixture is smooth. Add more milk, 1 teaspoon at a time, if a thinner consistency is desired.
Step 4
Stir in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt to balance the sweetness and enhance the chocolate flavor.
Step 5
Let the glaze cool for 1-2 minutes to slightly thicken. Use immediately by pouring, drizzling, or spreading over your desired baked goods.
Step 6
Allow the glaze to set at room temperature for 10-15 minutes for a shiny, firm finish.
