Source of Recipe


Spago Desserts






List of Ingredients



• 8 ounces bittersweet or semisweet chocolate, cut into small pieces
  
• 6 Tbsp unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
  
• 1/3 cup light corn syrup
  
• 1/3 cup brandy
  






Instructions



1. Combine the chocolate and butter in a medium heat-proof bowl and set over simmering water. (Do not let the bottom of the bowl touch the water or the chocolate may burn.) Let melt almost completely, turn off the heat, and let the mixture continue to melt, stirring occasionally.
   
   
2. Whisk in the corn syrup and brandy until smooth. Strain through a fine strainer. Reserve, covered in a warm spot, until needed.
   
   Do-Ahead Tip: The glaze can be made ahead, refrigerated, then re-melted to use as a glaze. Re-melt in a stainless steel bowl over a saucepan of simmering water. Let glaze almost melt, then remove from heat to finish melting.
