Glossy chocolate glaze

Ingredients

• 200 g dark melting chocolate
• 100 g unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 1/2 cup whipping cream

Step-by-step preparation

1. In a heatproof bowl, put the chopped dark chocolate, butter and honey.
2. Set the bowl over a pan of hot water on medium-low heat (a double boiler) and stir until the chocolate and butter have melted completely.
3. Add the cream and mix well until fully incorporated.
4. Keep warming over low heat, stirring constantly, until the glaze is smooth and glossy.
5. Remove from the heat and let the glaze cool for a few minutes before using.
6. Pour the glaze over your desserts – cakes, sponges, tarts – and spread it with a spatula or palette knife to cover them completely.
7. Let the glaze set at room temperature or in the fridge before serving.
