Time 10m

Number Of Ingredients 4

2 tablespoons butter
2 ounces unsweetened chocolate (chopped)
1 cup confectioners' sugar
2 tablespoons boiling water

Steps:

  • Gather the ingredients.
  • Combine the butter and chocolate in a saucepan over low heat and stir until melted. (Be careful not to overheat the chocolate as it could seize.) Alternatively, put the chocolate and butter in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave on medium for about 1 minute. Stir and continue to heat for about 15 seconds at a time, stirring between intervals, until the chocolate and butter are melted and smooth.
  • Sift the confectioners' sugar into a small bowl.
  • Stir the sifted confectioners' sugar into the melted butter and chocolate. Beat the mixture, adding small amounts of boiling water until thinned as desired. If you happen to find it too thin, add a little more powdered sugar. If too thick, add more hot water.
  • Slowly drizzle the chocolate glaze from the pot or bowl over your cooled, finish baked good. If desired, use a spatula to evenly distribute. How long the glaze will take to harden will depend on both the temperature of the glaze and the room. Once cool, it will harden.

ISO: Chocolate Glaze that dries hard using cocoa and without... Saw this and found the answer. This would be good now with Valentine's Day is near.

Time 2m

1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1/4 cup shortening or 1/4 cup margarine
3 tablespoons light corn syrup
2 tablespoons water
1 teaspoon water

Steps:

  • Make certain that the cake has been chilled in the fridge before starting the glaze.
  • In a 4-cup pyrex bowl or measuring cup or a microwave-safe bowl combine all ingredients.
  • Microwave on HIGH for about 2 minutes or until melted and smooth, removing once to stir.
  • Allow to sit at room temperature for about 5 minutes to allow to thicken enough so that it will not run off the cake (test out the consistency by drizzling a small amount over the top of the cake).
  • Drizzle over top of the cold cake, then refrigerate (the glaze will harden even more when refrigerated).
