Shiny Chocolate Glaze with Dove Chocolates

This weekend I made a six inch version of Red Wine Chocolate Bundt Chocolate Bundt Cake. Two things happened. I used Dutch process cocoa (even though the notes said not too) and it worked just fine. The other was that I identified what may be my favorite shiny chocolate glaze. It's been difficult all these years (sigh) to find a good chocolate glaze, but this one with Dove Dark Chocolate Promises is up there with the best.

Dove Dark Chocolates

Corn syrup contributes to a shiny chocolate glaze, but another thing that helps make the glaze glossy is shiny chocolate. Dove Dark Chocolate Promises work well. Another chocolate you might try is Lindt. In fact, you could vary the flavor a bit by using one of the flavored Lindt varieties (Chocolate Orange, Currant). I haven't tried this because I usually just like plain chocolate.

Three More Shiny Chocolate Glaze Recipes

So right now this glaze is my favorite, but I have other favorites too. These are three that I've used recently and that stand out in my mind as being really good.

  • Bourbon Chocolate Glaze -- I made this one again recently and was impressed with the flavor and how it set.
  • Chocolate Doughnut Glaze -- Works well for doughnuts. Pretty basic in that it's made with chocolate chips and doesn't call for any heavy cream. It's good for when you need a small amount of glaze.
  • Marshmallow Frosting -- The recipe is tied in with the Hershey's Perfectly Chocolate Bundt Cake, but you can grab it and use it with any cake that requires a soft pourable chocolate icing.

Ingredients
 

  • 3 oz Dove dark chocolate or any other brand, chopped** (84 grams)
  • ½ tablespoon butter (7 grams)
  • ½ tablespoon corn syrup (10 grams)
  • ⅓ cup heavy cream

Instructions
 

  • Combine the chopped chocolate, butter and corn syrup in a small bowl.
  • Heat the cream just until it starts to bubble. Pour over the chocolate mixture and let stand for 5 minutes.
  • Stir mixture until smooth, then let cool and thicken slightly so that it's pourable but not too loose.

Notes

You can use any dark chocolate, but Dove makes the glaze especially glossy.  3 oz is around 9 squares.

    I love the milk chocolate ones too. In fact, I'm starting to like the milk chocolate ones more for eating and have been using the dark one more often in baking.

    I LOVE Dove Milk Chocolate Promises to use for any recipe calling for milk chocolate! Just love the flavor....so it's especially cool to hear that they make a particularly nice glaze!
