Ingredients:
1 pound bittersweet or semi-sweet chocolate (chips or finely diced)
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) butter
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup water
3/4 teaspoon vanilla
2 tablespoons corn syrup
Pinch salt
Directions:
1. Place the chocolate in a large bowl.
2. In a medium saucepan, combine the butter, cream, water, vanilla, corn syrup and salt. Bring to a good simmer over high heat. Remove from heat.
3. Pour the cream mixture over the chocolate and gently stir to combine, melting the chocolate and forming a glaze.
4. The glaze will thicken as it cools. This makes 2 1/2 cups glaze, which will keep for up to 1 week, covered and refrigerated. Rewarm slightly to thin.
Note: I used a package of semi-sweet chocolate chips (which is really only 12 oz) and added about 1/4 of another package of chocolate chips. It turned out dreamy.
My thoughts:
You know how Anne Hathaway in the Princess Diaries
talks about her foot popping when she has the perfect kiss? Well, this glaze brought about a foot pop. It keeps for a week, so I am already thinking of things to use it on--in fact I had it on a fresh peach tonight before I went to bed. Delish! I also have some French vanilla gelato in the freezer which may need some of this later. I tried out some oatmeal pancakes last weekend (which will become a post) and added chocolate chunks in. This glaze would be amazing with those. . . There aren't a lot of things I think would be bad with it. Maybe watermelon.
