Directions
- 1
In a bowl, combine the granulated sugar, powdered milk, and sweetened cocoa powder. Whisk together until you have a uniform, lump-free dry mixture.
- 2
Transfer the dry mixture to a small saucepan, pour in the water, and stir to combine. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture comes to a full boil.
- 3
Reduce the heat to low and keep stirring for 3 minutes, allowing the glaze to thicken slightly and develop a glossy sheen.
- 4
Remove from heat and immediately pour over your cake or dessert while still warm. The glaze will set as it cools into a smooth, irresistible layer.
💡 Chef's Tip
For an extra glossy finish, stir in a small knob of butter off the heat just before glazing. If the glaze thickens too much, loosen it with a few drops of hot water.
