Glaze Ingredients

400 grams (14 ounces) powdered sugar
100 milliliters (3.4 fluid ounces) water
50 grams (1.75 ounces) white chocolate
Food coloring (optional)

Instructions

Step 1

Prepare the Glaze

In a large heatproof bowl or saucepan, combine powdered sugar, water, and white chocolate.

Carefully heat the mixture until the chocolate is melted and everything is combined smoothly. Stir continuously until you achieve a glossy consistency free of lumps.

Step 2

Blend and Color

Once your mixture is ready, use a blender to thoroughly mix all the ingredients together. This process ensures that every part is evenly incorporated.

If you desire colored glazes, add a few drops of food coloring at this stage and blend again until fully combined.

Step 3

Customization Options

This glaze is versatile, so feel free to add flavors like coffee or vanilla to suit your taste. If you prefer a different chocolate flavor, you can replace the white chocolate with dark or milk chocolate as desired.

You can create artistic designs by painting on the glaze, transferring patterns, or even achieving stunning marble effects. Remember, if anything doesn’t go as planned, the glaze can be removed and redone!
