CHOCOLATE GLAZE

• Bring to a boil, reduce heat to a simmer whisking often until very thick like hot fudge sauce- 8-10 minutes from beginning of simmer.
• Watch carefully so miixture doesn't boil over.
• Remove pan from heat.
• While mixture cools, bloom gelatin in 1 1/2 tablespoon of cold water.
• Melt the bloomed gelatin over very hot water or in the microwave.
• (If using sheet gelatin, soften for 5 minutes in cold water, wring out gelatin and whisk into chocolate mixture).
• Whisk gelatin into chocolate mixture and strain the glaze through a medium sieve into a metal bowl.
• Let glaze cool at room temperature until thick but still pourable, about 5-10 minutes.

CHOCOLATE GLAZE FOR CAKES (THAT HARDENS)

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).

HARD CHOCOLATE GLAZE

• Chop the chocolate into small pieces. Combine chocolate with butter in the top of a double boiler, over simmering water. Stir frequently until melted and smooth. Remove from heat.

CHOCOLATE GLAZE

Steps:

• 1. In a heavy-bottomed medium saucepan (no larger than 2 quarts, or the mixture will reduce too rapidly and burn before it reaches the correct temperature) over high heat, bring the sugar, water, and chocolate to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally. Attach a candy thermometer to the pan. Reduce the heat to medium and cook, uncovered, stirring, until the mixture reaches 234°F., about 5 minutes.
• 2. Remove from the heat and stir to cool and thicken slightly, about 1 minute. Use immediately. When pouring, do not scrape the pan.
• SMALL BATCH CHOCOLATE GLAZE
• Use 1 cup sugar, 1/2 cup water, and 4 ounces bittersweet chocolate. Make the glaze in a small saucepan.
