White chocolate mirror glaze

 

This glaze has a pearly shimmer to it, it's so versatile & you can add food colour to it.

If you don't want to add food colouring then put a tablespoon of your favourite jam.

You can keep this refrigerated in an air tight container for up to 2 weeks. 

Ingredients:

85g cream

20g water 

15g corn syrup

130g good quality white chocolate (melted)

2g gelatine dissolve in 1. Tbsp water

12g oil 

Few drops of food gel colouring 

Method:

Bring to boil the cream, water & corn syrup.

Pour over slowly to the melted white chocolates. 

Using a ballon whisk constantly whisk to combine, it will look curdle as soon as you add the liquid to the chocolate, but keep stirring and it will come together like thick syrup.

Once this is all combined add the soften gelatine and whisk until it has all dissolved then gradually the oil. This gives it a lovely shimmer and loosen it up. 

Add food colour to the colour you wish to achieve or jam. 

This glaze is ready to coat on a chilled cake when it is really thick, it should look like glucose syrup.

Tastes really good and so easy to make. 

You can use on mousse cakes and buttercream cakes. 

 

Decorate with mini orange macarons, recipe can be found here.
