Directions
- 1
In a saucepan over low heat, combine the margarine, condensed milk, and cocoa powder.
- 2
Stir continuously for about 2 minutes until the mixture is smooth, glossy, and well blended.
- 3
In a separate bowl, whisk the cornstarch into the cold milk until fully dissolved with no lumps remaining.
- 4
Gradually pour the milk-cornstarch mixture into the saucepan, stirring constantly to prevent clumping.

Keep stirring over low heat until the coating thickens and coats the back of a spoon.

Remove from heat and use immediately to glaze your desserts, or let it cool slightly for a thicker, spreadable consistency.
💡 Chef's Tip
For extra shine, stir in a teaspoon of honey just before removing from heat. The coating thickens as it cools — reheat gently over a double boiler if it becomes too thick.
