Chocolate Fudge Glaze

Ingredients

• 2 oz unsweetened baker's chocolate
• 1½ cup sugar
• 1 tbs corn syrup
• ½ C milk
• 4 tbs butter
• 1 tsp vanilla

Directions

1. Cook Base: In a heavy saucepan, combine butter, milk, sugar, and corn syrup. Add baker's chocolate pieces.
2. Boil: Stir over medium-low heat until the mixture reaches a rolling boil. Stir constantly for 1 minute, then remove from heat.
3. Cool: Let the mixture cool completely (in the pan or transferred to a stainless-steel bowl in the refrigerator).
4. Finish: Once cooled, whip in the vanilla until fully incorporated.

Chef's Notes

• This frosting is very thick and works best as a glaze, not a spreadable frosting. Pour it over the cake and let it flow over the sides, guiding with a spatula if needed. Chill after glazing - the result is a fudge-like outer coating
