Chocolate Glaze (Flourless Chocolate Cake)

A glaze forked into its own recipe per the archive's rule that accompanying components (glazes, marinades, rubs, sauces, etc.) are kept as standalone recipes. It also remains inline in Flourless Chocolate Cake, where it is originally used.

Ingredients

• 3 ounces (85 g) bittersweet chocolate, coarsely chopped
• 1/3 cup (80 ml) heavy cream
• ½ teaspoon (2.5 ml) vanilla extract

Method

1. Place the chocolate in the bowl of a food processor and process just until finely ground.
2. Place the cream in a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Remove from heat and add the chocolate to the pan. Stir until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth. Stir in the vanilla extract. Transfer the glaze to a small bowl. Cover the surface of the glaze with a piece of plastic wrap and let it cool for about 10 minutes before using.
