does this set at all? I’m looking for a good glaze for brownies
Yes! It does! Seriously, it’s awesome 🙂
I just made this glaze and it is delish!!!!!! I have tried a few dufferent recipes and some where bitter but this one was nice. I used it to glaze baked donuts and my choco-holic son loved it. I just mixed everything up with a whisk and it was great! I will definately make it again ! Thanks!
How much cocoa? Is that 1/4 c?
Yes! Thanks for being the first person to catch that and let me know after all this time!! Fixed 🙂
What does the lemon juice add? Seems to be odd in a chocolate recipe…
