Dark Chocolate Glaze
by:
Some bakers prefer this rich glaze, made by melting together chocolate and butter, to ganache and creme dor, because it is very firm when it sets and it keeps its sheen. Usually this glaze contains a little corn syrup to stabilize it and keep it from taking on a matte appearance when cold. You can also make a hybrid glaze by including butter in a standard ganache-the butter makes it richer and firmer when cold. If youre using this glaze after it is no longer pourable, put the bowl over a low flame (if the bowl is metal) or over a sauce-pan of simmering water while working the glaze with a whisk until it has a consistency you can pour.
