Chocolate Glaze with Red Wine Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup butter
- 3 tablespoons red wine
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
Instructions
- Melt: In a heat-proof bowl, combine all of the ingredients. Place the bowl on top of a saucepan filled halfway with water to create a double boiler setup over medium heat, ensuring that the bottom of the bowl does not touch the water. Stir frequently until the chocolate and butter have melted completely. Use hot pads to carefully remove the bowl from the heat as it will be extremely hot.
- Glaze: Pour the warm chocolate glaze over your chosen dessert, allowing it to cascade down the sides. The glaze will be runny while hot, creating a glossy finish on your dessert. For a slower, thicker drip effect, allow the glaze to cool for a few minutes before pouring. The longer you wait, the thicker the glaze will be.
Notes
In the photos, I pour the red wine chocolate glaze atop homemade blueberry ice cream. The fruity notes in the red wine complement the blueberries in the ice cream so well. You can find this easy blueberry ice cream recipe here.
