Equipment

  • 1 Heat proof bowl
  • 1 Silicon Spatula
  • 1 sauce pan

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 1 teaspoon instant coffee powder
  • 1/4 cup warm heavy cream
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract

Instructions
 

  • Melt: In a heat-proof bowl, combine 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips, 1/2 cup butter, 1 teaspoon instant coffee powder. 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.
  • Whisk in: Add 1/4 cup warm heavy cream and 1 tablespoon sugar to the bowl with the chocolate mixture. Using a whisk, mix the ingredients together until smooth and well combined. Add 2 tablespoons maple syrup and 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract and mix again until fully incorporated.
  • 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 drip effect, allow the glaze to cool for a few minutes before pouring.
