How to make Chocolate Mirror Glaze

Ingredients

100g sweetened condensed milk

175g semisweet chocolate, cut in small pieces

150g sugar

100ml water

10g gelatine powder

60ml cold water

25g unsweetened cocoa powder

Method

In a small bowl place the gelatine and 50ml cold water and let swell for 5-10 minutes. Place the chocolate in a bowl and set aside.

Place water, sugar, condensed milk and cocoa powder in a saucepan. Bring it just to a boil and remove from heat. Stir in the bloomed gelatine until it is dissolved. Pour the hot cocoa mixture over chocolate. Let sit for about 5 minutes until the chocolate is melted. Use an immersion blender and blend until smooth. Sieve the glaze and let it cool to 90-95F (32-35C) before pouring over the frozen cake.
