Directions
- 1
Melt the butter in a small heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium heat.
- 2
Add the cornstarch, cocoa powder, and milk, whisking continuously to keep the mixture perfectly smooth and lump-free.
- 3
Reduce to low heat and keep stirring until the glaze simmers and thickens slightly, about 3–4 minutes.
- 4
Remove from heat and pour immediately over your cake or dessert. Finish with chocolate sprinkles, shredded coconut, or crushed nuts as desired.
💡 Chef's Tip
For an extra-glossy finish, stir in a small knob of butter off the heat. If the glaze thickens too much as it cools, loosen it with a splash of warm milk.
