My Austrian friend Dagmar shared her secret with me as I raved once again about her glaze. It's so simple you won't believe how easy it is... For cakes and desserts of every description.
Ingredients
How to make it
- This is a European recipe, so it goes by weight.
- Use equal amounts of chocolate (your choice of how much semi-sweet in relation to unsweetened you want to use. I like intense and bittersweet so I use about 2/3 semi to 1/3 unsweetened) and cream, by weight.
- That means if you use 8 oz. chocolate all told, you will need 8 oz. cream.
- Melt the chocolate and cream together in the microwave carefully, just until the chocolate is melted.
- Mix gently together and let it cool to room temperature.
- Add dash of salt and now beat well with a wire whip until glossy.
- Pour over cake or dessert and let set.
- Chill at least 1 hour before serving. Luscious!
