Chocolate glaze
Glaze as such was first mentioned in documents from the 17th century. However, at that time, they used sugar glaze, not chocolate glaze made from cocoa, to prepare desserts. And this cake coating received its official name only in the second half of the 18th century.
How to cook Chocolate glaze
Step 1
Mix sugar and cocoa in a deep bowl. Mix thoroughly. Add milk. Mix until smooth. Add softened butter to the future glaze in small pieces.
Step 2
Cook the chocolate glaze. Pour the glaze into a thick-bottomed saucepan. Bring it to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly. Remove from the stove and leave to cool slightly.
