Ingredients

- 50 grams Unsalted butter
- 50 grams Powdered sugar
- 60 ml Whole milk
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Directions
Step 1
Chop the semi-sweet chocolate into small, even pieces and set aside.
Step 2
In a small saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over low heat.
Step 3
Once the butter has melted, add the chopped chocolate to the saucepan. Stir continuously until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth.
Step 4
Sift the powdered sugar into the saucepan to prevent lumps. Stir well until fully combined.
Step 5
Gradually add the whole milk, a little at a time, while stirring constantly to achieve a smooth and glossy consistency.
Step 6
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Step 7
Allow the glaze to cool for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, to thicken slightly before using.
Step 8
Pour the glaze over your desired dessert, smoothing it out quickly with a spatula or spoon if needed. Let it set for a glossy finish.
