Ingredients

Directions

  1. Break the unsweetened chocolate into small pieces and set aside.
  2. In a medium saucepan, combine the chocolate pieces, sugar, whipping cream, and light corn syrup.
  3. Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir constantly until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
  4. Reduce the heat to medium-low and continue stirring until the mixture begins to simmer.
  5. Simmer the mixture without stirring for 10 minutes to allow the sugar to dissolve fully and the glaze to thicken slightly.
  6. While the glaze simmers, lightly beat the egg yolks in a small bowl.
  7. Temper the eggs by slowly stirring 2 tablespoons of the hot chocolate mixture into the egg yolks, one teaspoon at a time, whisking constantly.
  8. Pour the tempered egg mixture back into the saucepan with the remaining chocolate mixture.
  9. Return the saucepan to low heat and stir constantly for 3 to 4 minutes, or until the glaze thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon.
  10. Remove from heat and immediately stir in the vanilla extract.
  11. Let the glaze cool to room temperature before using, stirring occasionally to maintain a smooth consistency.
