What each ingredient does
- Chocolate
- Provides the rich chocolate flavour and colour of the glaze.
- Glace frosting
- Adds sweetness and body so the glaze is thick and smooth.
- Boiling water
- Thins the mixture so it spreads into a smooth, pourable glaze.
The step that matters
Add the boiling water and mix well. Too little water leaves the glaze stiff and lumpy, while too much makes it thin and runny. Mixing thoroughly ensures the chocolate and frosting blend evenly without streaks.
