Instructions
Step 1
In a small bowl, combine 10 grams (0.35 ounces) of gelatin with 40 milliliters (1.4 fluid ounces) of cold water. Allow it to sit for about 5-10 minutes until it fully absorbs the water and becomes spongy.
This process is crucial as it ensures the gelatin activates properly, which will help your glaze set beautifully.
Step 2
Once the gelatin has soaked, gently heat it in a double boiler until it dissolves completely. Be careful not to let it boil.
The gentle heat will prevent the gelatin from clumping and will create a smooth mixture.
Step 3
In a mixing bowl, combine 150 grams (5.3 ounces) of sweetened condensed milk with the melted gelatin mixture. Whisk them together until well combined and smooth.
This is where you’ll start to see the magic happen as the ingredients blend into a lovely creamy mixture.
Step 4
If desired, add a few drops of food coloring to achieve your chosen hue. Mix well until the color is evenly distributed.
Feel free to be creative; this glaze can be colored in any shade to match your dessert theme!
Step 5
Once your glaze is ready and smooth, pour it over your prepared cakes or desserts. Ensure it flows evenly for the best appearance.
If the glaze is too runny and drips too much, you may want to refrigerate it a little to thicken up before pouring.
Step 6
If your glaze starts to thicken too quickly while working, you can gently reheat it on a double boiler to restore its smooth consistency.
If the glaze seems too thin when applying, it might leak down to the base; practice makes perfect, so don't hesitate to test as you go!
Servings
