Chocolate Glaze
A rich and smooth vegan chocolate glaze, perfect for topping cakes, cookies, and other desserts. This luscious glaze adds a shiny, decadent finish to your baked goods, enhancing both flavor and appearance. Easy to prepare, it's an ideal way to elevate any sweet treat with a touch of chocolatey goodness.
Instructions
- Chop the cooking chocolate into small pieces.
- Now you have two methods of melting the chocolate.
- Method 1: In a small saucepan, melt the vegan butter over low heat. Add the chopped chocolate to the saucepan and stir until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth. Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the rum until well combined.
- Method 2: Put butter and chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave the chocolate in 20-second intervals, stirring between each interval, until melted. When you have a smooth and glossy mixture, stir in the rum until well combined.
- Let the glaze cool slightly before using it to top cakes, cookies, or other desserts.
- For a thicker consistency, let the glaze cool completely at room temperature or refrigerate it for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Store any leftover glaze in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. Reheat gently before using.
Notes
- Melt gently over low heat to keep the glaze shiny and smooth.
- Add the rum off the heat (or after microwaving) so the flavor stays bright and it doesn’t evaporate too much.
- If the glaze thickens too much while working, reheat very gently and stir until fluid again.
- Chill briefly for a thicker glaze that sets faster on cakes/cookies.
