Preparing chocolate for the cake. Honey and Coconut Milk Glaze

Confectionery glaze is a sweet semi-finished product that is intended to cover various confectionery. This product adds more attractiveness to desserts. appearance and improves them taste characteristics. Even the most ordinary cake, after being covered with glaze, acquires a special taste and aroma. Often rolls, cakes, candies, waffles, as well as ice cream, marshmallows and sweet cheeses are covered with confectionery glaze.

At the moment, there are four main types of this semi-finished product:

  • chocolate glaze (ganache) - twenty-five percent consists of natural cocoa products, and this number includes twelve percent cocoa butter;
  • milk glaze - includes dry cocoa (15%), powdered milk(12%), cocoa butter (5%), milk fat (2,5%);
  • white glaze - it contains cocoa butter (10%), milk powder (14%), fat milk product (2,5%);
  • sugar glaze - seventy-eight percent consists of dry substances, as well as sugar and purified water.

Besides this, there is also royal icing, but, as a rule, it is used not as a cream, but to create confectionery decorations. From such a semi-finished product it is convenient to make both simple figures and very complex compositions.

Mirror and colored confectionery glazes are also very common. In the first case, the product is prepared with gelatin, and in the second, with food coloring. When mixing these two semi-finished products, an unusual but very original glaze is obtained.

Today you can buy confectionery icing in almost every sweets store. Usually it looks like chocolate bar or small disks (see photo). Before use, the sweet semi-finished product must be melted to a temperature of 55 degrees. Already melted glaze may also be sold, for example, in tubes or buckets.

  • Homemade frosting should not be too thin or too thick. In both cases, the product will be inconvenient to work with. The consistency of the confectionery glaze should resemble sour cream.
  • To make glaze, it is better to use homemade powdered sugar. In addition, it is very easy to do it yourself. To do this, you just need to grind it thoroughly granulated sugar in a coffee grinder.
  • Plain water can be replaced natural juice lemon. This will give the glaze more rich taste and aroma. If desired, lemon juice can be mixed with water.
  • IN homemade frosting It is recommended to add eggs. These products thicken its consistency and also give it a yellow tint.
  • If the glaze is prepared for cakes, then it is recommended to include butter. This is how the sweet semi-finished product becomes tender and soft, and its consistency resembles cream.

Then add cocoa powder to the mixture and stir the mixture intensively with a spoon or wooden spatula for a minute.

Recipe 8: how to make mirror chocolate glaze

  • 1 glass of sugar (200g),
  • 110ml water,
  • 0.5 cups 33~35% fat cream (125g),
  • 50g cocoa or 100g dark chocolate,
  • 10g gelatin

Soak gelatin in 50 grams of water.

Pour sugar into a saucepan and pour 60 grams of water. Bring to a boil over high heat until the sugar is completely dissolved. Add heavy cream.

Bring to a boil and remove from heat. Place broken chocolate or sifted cocoa into the syrup.

Stir gently until the chocolate has dissolved or until all the cocoa has been incorporated into the liquid without leaving any lumps.

Place the swollen gelatin into the hot mixture.

Continue stirring gently until all the gelatin has dissolved.

You can mix the frosting with an immersion blender, holding it at an angle and not lifting it above the surface of the frosting to prevent bubbles from forming in the frosting.

Strain the glaze through a fine sieve.

Cover the glaze with cling film so that it lies on the surface without an air gap. This will prevent the glaze from weathering.

Leave the glaze to cool. To properly stabilize the glaze, it must be placed in the refrigerator overnight after cooling.

If there is no time, then bring the glaze to body temperature or slightly lower - a drop of glaze applied to the inner bend of the arm should not be felt.

If the glaze was kept in the refrigerator, then heat it to a liquid state in the microwave or in a water bath.

Then cool again to body temperature (working temperature of the glaze is 30~35°C).

After reaching the glaze required temperature, pour it onto the leveled surface of the product. The more glaze, the smoother it will lie on the product. It is best to apply the glaze in two stages - pour the first layer, wait 2-3 minutes and pour a second time.

To ensure that the glaze does not drip off the cream, but hardens immediately, the product must be kept in the refrigerator for 8~10 hours or in the freezer for 2 hours before coating with glaze.

To frost the sides of the cake, place the cake on a wire rack. Place a tray lined with foil under the grill. After coating the top, pour the frosting evenly in a circle around the edge of the cake. In this case, part of the glaze will flow onto the tray.

Dried glaze can be scraped off the tray, reheated and reused.
Place the glazed product in the refrigerator until completely hardened.

It happens that with high humidity in the room, the glaze on the product after removal from the refrigerator becomes covered with drops of water.

In this case, the drops should be carefully blotted with the corner of a well-absorbing napkin, being careful not to touch the glaze.

The frosting can be stored in the refrigerator in a covered container for 5~7 days.

Glaze, like any other product, has its own rules, and if you follow them, your baked goods will always be beautiful, fragrant and impressive.

Consistency

The glaze should not be too thick and not too runny. Almost like sour cream. Then it will be well applied to the product, will set quickly and will not run off. If you followed the recipe and the glaze turned out too thin, add a spoonful of powdered sugar, and if it turned out too thick, add a teaspoon hot water.

Different goals

Liquid glaze is poured over the tops of cupcakes or donuts. Glaze with the consistency of 20 percent sour cream is used for patterns and designs on cakes. Or you can make the icing even thicker and use it to glue one half of the cake to the other. A brush will help with this.

Powder

It needs to be ground very carefully. Right within a few minutes. And when you open the lid of the coffee grinder, a “sugar smoke” should come from the powder. Yes, and of course, the best powder is made with your own hands, not store-bought. Moreover, it is done very quickly.

In addition, it is better to sift the powder.

Lemon juice

It is often used as a substitute for water when making glazes. And sometimes they add a few drops to the glaze for flavor. Lemon juice adds glaze great taste and smell. And if the baked goods are very sweet, then it makes sense to use more lemon juice, this will create a contrasting, voluminous and interesting taste.

On whites and yolks

With eggs, the glaze acquires a rich taste and a soft, dense consistency. Protein glaze often used for Easter cakes or drawing patterns. And the yolks give the glaze a yellowish tint - very beautiful. But for safety reasons, it is better to dry such glaze in the oven. Although this is often not mentioned in recipes.

Place the product in an oven heated to 100 C or a little more, even a little heating will protect you from salmonella, since it dies at 70 C.

With butter

When making icing for cakes, fat and butter are often added. The glaze with it turns out soft, creamy, it is well suited for cakes. The option with chocolate or cocoa and butter looks especially beautiful.

Secret: If you brush the cake with a thin layer of jam before frosting, the frosting will lie perfectly evenly and will shine very beautifully.

Dyes

It is often recommended to add food coloring to the glaze; with it, the color turns out bright, and the product takes on a festive, cheerful look. Of course there is nothing wrong with using food coloring from a bag, but you can also add natural coloring products to the glaze. For example, a spoon raspberry jam- so the color will turn out red, and magical raspberry flavor. A pinch of turmeric and a piece of butter will give you an intense orange tint.

Secret: For glaze it is better not to use porous chocolate. And if you add a spoonful of cocoa to the chocolate, the color will be more saturated.
