Would you mind to share the recipe for chocolate glaze with me? I had a copy of it and I can't find it icon_cry.gif and I was planning on using it on a cake I'm making today.

Thanks

Inma

Chocolate Glaze

In a metal bowl over hot water, melt:

3 pounds semisweet chocolate, cut into small pieces

In a saucepan, warm over medium-high heat:

1 Quart heavy cream
10 ounces (2 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter
1/2 cup light corn syrup

Stir until the butter melts,then continue to heat to just before boiling point. Slowly pour the scalded liquid over the melted chocolate, whisking constantly until smooth. Strain the icing through a fine sieve. The icing can be used immediately or cooled and refrigerated for up to 2 weeks. If it has been chilled, reheat slowly in a double boiler before using.
