Chocolate glaze recipe. And again experiments

Today I will be making a colored glaze, more commonly referred to as a mirror glaze, to cover and decorate the cake. I will cook it with white and dark chocolate. In my recipe with step-by-step photos, I will share all the secrets, point out the most important points which you need to pay attention to when cooking at home. If you follow all the recommendations, you will get a beautiful, bubble-free mirror glaze for the cake. It will lay down in an even layer and will not slip off your dessert.

Ingredients:

For white glaze:

For dark gloss:

  • 100 grams of dark chocolate 72%;
  • 100 grams of invert syrup or confectionery glucose;
  • 70 grams of condensed milk 8.5%;
  • 10 grams of gelatin + 60 ml of cold water.

For syrup:

  • 100 grams of white sugar;
  • 50 ml cold water.

How to make a mirror glaze for a cake

We start making a glaze with the preparation of gelatin. Soak the gelatin and leave it to swell.

Pour condensed milk, invert syrup or confectionery glucose into a mixer bowl or into a cup with a wide neck, break white chocolate into small pieces.

Pour sugar into a saucepan with a thick bottom and spread it over the entire bottom. Carefully pour water into the center. It is better to do this with a tablespoon. From the center, the water itself will be distributed throughout the sugar. We put the syrup on the fire. At the same time, we forget that in the house there are spoons, whisks and all other utensils with which you can mix the syrup. The only thing that is allowed is to shake the pan a little from side to side for an even boil. We bring the syrup to 121 ° C and remove from heat.

We lower the swollen gelatin into a bowl with chocolate and pour the whole mass with the prepared syrup.

We take an immersion blender, lower it into the bowl at an angle of 45 ° and start punching through the entire mass without lifting the blender up. If you keep the blender level and raise it periodically, the glaze will fill with oxygen and the coating on the surface of your finished cake will not be smooth, but in bubbles and ruin the appearance of your dessert.

As soon as the mass has become completely homogeneous, cover cling film in contact with the glass. If you simply cover the glass with cling film, condensation will form on the surface of the mirror glaze.

We do exactly the same procedure when preparing chocolate glazing. To do this, just change the white chocolate to black, bitter.

When the colored mirror glaze for the cake is ready, leave it to cool on the table. After complete cooling, put in the refrigerator.

Before use, the glaze must be melted in a water bath. The operating temperature is 36°C, but nothing bad will happen if you have 34°C-37°C on the thermometer. The main thing is that it should be no less and no more (!). Apply mirror glaze needed for a well-frozen product.

If you need a colored mirror glaze, then use the prepared white chocolate glaze as a base. To do this, simply add fat-soluble food coloring to it just before serving on dessert.

If you need to get a pure white color (like a sheet of paper) - add ½ tsp. isomalt. My photo shows the addition of gold kandurin to give the glossy pearl effect.

For convenience, I always prepare a double volume of white chocolate glazing. Such a mirror glaze for a torus is stored in the refrigerator for no more than two weeks.

Once I saw on TV how confectioners decorated cakes with an incredible glossy icing that reflected their appearance - it was a glaze: chocolate mirror glaze for cake. A spectacular glossy finish has become very fashionable today - it simply attracts the eye. And I decided to try to make the same mirror glaze at home: with chocolate flavor. The result exceeded all my expectations. Try it too.

Ingredients:

  • gelatin - 8 grams;
  • sugar - 250 grams;
  • cocoa powder - 80 grams;
  • cream 33% - 80 milliliters;
  • water - 150 milliliters;
  • black chocolate - 50 grams;

Chocolate mirror glaze for cake. Step by step recipe:

  1. Soak the gelatine in water according to the package directions. But if you do not have instructions: pour dry gelatin with cold boiled water (with the calculation of 1 tablespoon of gelatin per half a glass of water) and leave it for 1 hour to swell. If you have instant gelatin, then it will swell in 25-30 minutes.
  2. Then put the gelatin on water bath for complete dissolution, stirring occasionally. It will dissolve in 10 minutes. Advice. It is very important not to let the gelatin boil, because at 100 degrees the collagen protein is destroyed. And such gelatin loses its gelling properties. This process is irreversible and such gelatin can no longer be used for cooking.
  3. After complete dissolution, the gelatinous liquid must be cooled slightly, to approximately 50 - 60 degrees. And now the gelatin is completely ready for further use.
  4. It is equally important not to freeze gelatin: that is, you can not put it in the freezer. When frozen, gelatin crystallizes and when thawed, it will exfoliate. Which is also unacceptable for cooking with gelatin.
  5. Pour sugar and cocoa into a separate pan, mix everything thoroughly. Then add the cream and water alternately.
  6. We put the mixture for the future chocolate icing on the stove and, stirring constantly, bring to a boil. It is very important to constantly stir with a whisk, because the glaze burns quickly.
  7. Remove the chocolate mixture from the heat and add the crushed dark bitter chocolate to it.
  8. When chocolate glaze cool a little, make it “mirror”, that is, add soaked gelatin. Once again, mix everything.
  9. We filter the finished chocolate mirror glaze through a strainer and cool to room temperature. Read more:

  12. For convenience, I always prepare a double volume of white chocolate glazing. Such a mirror glaze for a torus is stored in the refrigerator for no more than two weeks.

Ingredients:

  • gelatin in the form of sheets - 12 grams;
  • white chocolate - 155 grams;
  • drinking water - 85 ml;
  • condensed milk with sugar - 115 ml;
  • granulated sugar - 155 grams;
  • glucose syrup - 155 ml;
  • food coloring - as needed.

Cooking:

  1. We begin the preparation of mirror glaze for the cake, according to the presented recipe with a photo step by step, with the preparation of gelatin. We will need gelatin plates, as well as cold water. The plates are placed in a bowl, and then filled with water. If there is no sheet gelatin at home, then granular gelatin can be used, it is poured with 72 milliliters of water and left for one hour.
  2. Now you should take a tall glass or a large bowl, it is very convenient to use a special glass for a blender. The required amount of condensed milk is poured into it, white chocolate is also spread there, which was previously finely chopped.
  3. A saucepan is taken, water is poured into it, and then glucose syrup and granulated sugar are added. The mass moves to the fire and gradually heats up, the syrup will be ready when the granulated sugar is completely dissolved in water. Some confectioners advise not to stir the syrup with a spoon, just move the saucepan slightly on the stove. This will speed up the process of dissolving the sugar.
  4. As soon as the mixture begins to boil, it is necessary to measure its temperature, so it is better to prepare a thermometer in advance. At this stage, the mixture is stirred with a spoon and brought to a temperature of 104 degrees. This temperature is necessary for the reason that it is at this moment that the mass will be ready.
  5. If you do not cook the syrup, then the future decoration for the dessert will simply drain. But it’s also impossible to overexpose the mass on fire, because as a result, the multi-colored mirror icing for the cake, according to the indicated recipe with the photo, will become thick, and it will be difficult for her to cover the cake.
  6. Hot syrup can be immediately poured into a glass for a blender, where there is already condensed milk and white chocolate. The mass is left for a while, it is necessary to wait until the chocolate melts and the syrup cools to 85 degrees. At this time, prepared gelatin can be poured into the mixture.
  7. If gelatin is used in the form of a powder, then it must first be melted with a steam bath, or use a microwave oven. The resulting composition is thoroughly mixed with a spoon to obtain the most uniform consistency.
  8. Four drops of any dye are added to the resulting mass, and then a blender is immersed in a glass and the device is turned on at minimum speed. The color of the future glaze will immediately begin to change. If you need to get a more saturated shade, then the dye can be used in more. After cooling, the glaze may have a slightly different shade, if you want to see it, then put a spoon in the freezer, and then dip it into the resulting mass.
  9. It is very important to keep the blender at a 45-degree angle, and also to beat at a low speed. If you do not follow these rules, then as a result, bubbles will be present in the mass, which will spoil the appearance of the glaze. When small bubbles nevertheless began to form, it is quite easy to get rid of them by straining the finished mirror mass.
  10. As soon as the multi-colored mirror icing for the cake, according to the proposed recipe with a photo step by step, is ready, it is covered with cling film. The film must be placed directly on the surface of the mass, since glucose syrup can create a thin film on the surface of the mixture. The finished icing is sent to the refrigerator for twelve hours, it is best to leave it in the evening and all night. This is necessary to stabilize the composition.
  11. After the specified time, you can see what we ended up with. To do this, they press the product with their fingers, if the mass is springy and has elasticity, then we got the perfect design for the cake.
  12. It is impossible to use the mass in this form, for this reason it is heated with a microwave, and you can also use a steam bath. The temperature of the heated mass should not exceed 35 degrees.
  13. The cake is covered with the finished mirror mixture, and it is important to do it quickly, and then put the dessert in the refrigerator.
  14. If you leave for at least five minutes, the icing will become warmer, and small drops of water will form on the surface of the cake. This will cause the decoration to simply drain off the treat.

In the previous version, we prepared multi-colored mirror icing for the cake, in this recipe with a photo, white icing is presented step by step. To prepare such a decoration, we need to prepare white chocolate or powdered sugar. This recipe includes chocolate, but if necessary, it can be easily replaced. It is a bar of white chocolate that will help make the decoration smoother and silkier.

  • vanilla powder - 1 pack;
  • simple white chocolate - 145 grams;
  • gelatin in granules - 1 pack;
  • cow's milk - 115 ml.

Cooking method:

  1. About 55 milliliters of water is poured into a small container, and then gelatin powder is poured into the same place. The mass is left aside for a while so that the gelatin granules have time to swell well.
  2. Now we need cream, in this case it is important to use only a fatty product, otherwise the glaze will turn out to be of the wrong consistency. The cream is mixed with milk in a saucepan, and then transferred to the fire. The mass is brought to a boil, and then removed from the heat and cools slightly.
  3. Chocolate is added to the still hot milk mixture, it is first broken into small pieces. The creamy mass is mixed until the pieces of chocolate are completely dissolved in it. Now, already swollen gelatin is poured into the same mixture and vanilla powder is added. Everything is mixed so that the gelatin disperses.
  4. The finished mass is filtered through a sieve so that there are no small bubbles left in it, this is important when creating a mirror surface on the cake. You can use the product to cover the dessert only after it has cooled to 35 degrees. You can also store this glaze in the refrigerator for some time, but before using the mass is heated in a water bath.

Required products:

  • gelatin in granules - 1 pack;

  2. To begin with, granulated sugar and a glass of liquid molasses are combined, sweet caramel is boiled from this mass, while sugar cannot be interfered with, otherwise the caramel will quickly harden. The readiness of the syrup is determined by its shade, as soon as it becomes caramel, you can remove the mass from the heat.
  3. Heavy cream is added in a thin stream to the still hot syrup, the cream is also brought to a boil beforehand. With the introduction of cream, the mass is constantly mixed to make the glaze homogeneous. Grate chocolate first, so it dissolves faster. As soon as the caramel mixture is ready, it is gradually added to the grated chocolate, while the icing is continuously mixed.
  4. Finally, dissolved gelatin is added to the cake decoration, and then the mass is thoroughly whipped with a blender. If you want to get the effect of mother-of-pearl, you should pour five grams of golden kandurin into the glaze.

  • glucose syrup - 82 ml;
  • cocoa powder - 85 grams;
