What’s in This Chocolate Glaze?

There are only four ingredients in this chocolate glaze, and there’s a good chance you have several (or all!) of them on hand already.

After all, one of the ingredients is water, and if you bake with any kind of regularity, you probably have some powdered sugar (and maybe even cocoa powder) on hand.

Here’s what you need:

  • 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
  •  1 tablespoon light corn syrup
  •  1/4 cup cocoa powder
  •  1 – 2 tablespoons water

How to Make the Best Chocolate Glaze Recipe

  1. Whisk all of the ingredients vigorously until smooth. 
  2. Yep. That’s it! Use it to top cookies, dip apple slices, drizzle over cupcakes, or spread it over a sheet cake.
