Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 cup Bittersweet chocolate chips (60-70% cacao)
- 1.5 cups Powdered sugar
- 6 tablespoons Whole milk
- 1 teaspoon Pure vanilla extract
- 1 pinch Pinch of salt
Directions
Step 1
In a medium saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over low heat.
Step 2
Once the butter is melted, add the bittersweet chocolate chips. Stir frequently until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth.
Step 3
Remove the saucepan from the heat and sift in the powdered sugar, stirring constantly to avoid lumps.
Step 4
Gradually whisk in the whole milk, one tablespoon at a time, until the mixture reaches your desired glaze consistency. (For a thicker glaze, add less milk; for a thinner glaze, add more.)
Step 5
Stir in the pure vanilla extract and the pinch of salt for enhanced flavor.
Step 6
Allow the glaze to cool for 5-10 minutes before using. It will thicken slightly as it cools.
Step 7
Drizzle the glaze over your desired dessert or use a spatula to spread it evenly. Allow it to set for at least 15 minutes before serving.
