Bring to a gentle boil and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring without stopping, until the glaze thickens and coats the back of a spoon.

Remove from heat, let cool for 2 minutes, then pour immediately over your dessert. The glaze will set as it cools.
💡 Chef's Tip
For a richer, glossier result, swap the milk for heavy cream. Always apply while warm — the glaze thickens considerably as it cools and becomes difficult to spread.
