I love to put a decorative white chocolate glaze on the Triple Chocolate Brownies (recipe in The Cool Mountain Cookbook). You can use this glaze on cookies, cakes, or any dessert. Practice on a piece of parchment paper first, so you get the hang of it.
Ingredients
4 ounces white chocolate*
1 teaspoon vegetable oil
1 sealable quart-size plastic bag
Method
1. Melt white chocolate and oil in a microwave bowl on 50% power, starting with 1-minute increments, and stirring before microwaving again. It might take 5 minutes or less, depending upon your microwave.
2. Cut the top off the plastic bag. Scrape the melted chocolate into the bag, forcing it down into one corner. Snip the tiniest amount of the corner off to create a tiny hole. Twist the bag in your hand, like a pastry bag. Hold the bag over your dessert and with quick back-and-forth motions, gently squeeze the bag, releasing tiny strands of the melted chocolate. With practice, you can even “write” with your bag… give it a try!
*I buy Ghirardelli’s White Chocolate from Trader Joe’s.
