The Ingredients You'll Need
Bold and Flavorsome
To create a delectable mirror glaze for your Thanksgiving desserts, you'll need a few key ingredients. Gelatin is the star of this recipe, as it helps to give the glaze its signature mirror-like shine. White chocolate provides a creamy and rich flavor, while condensed milk adds a touch of sweetness. For a burst of flavor, you'll also need fruit puree of your choice, such as strawberry or raspberry. Finally, food coloring will add a pop of color to your glaze, making it visually appealing.
Preparation is Key
Before you begin making the glaze, it's important to have all your ingredients measured and ready to go. This will ensure a smooth and successful glaze-making process. You'll also need a silicone mold or a cake covered in frosting to pour the glaze over. Once you have everything prepared, it's time to move on to the next step.
The Glaze-Making Process
Mixing and Heating
To start, mix together the gelatin and water in a small bowl and let it sit for 5 minutes. In a separate saucepan, heat the condensed milk and white chocolate until the chocolate is completely melted. Then, add in the gelatin mixture and stir until well combined.
Adding the Finishing Touches
Next, stir in the fruit puree and food coloring until you achieve your desired color and flavor. Straining the mixture is crucial to ensure a smooth and glossy glaze, so make sure to strain it through a fine-mesh sieve. Now, your glaze is ready to be poured over your cake or into the silicone mold.
The Final Touch
Once your cake is coated in the glaze, place it in the refrigerator for at least an hour to set. When it's time to serve, you'll have a beautiful, shiny and delicious dessert that will be the talk of the Thanksgiving table.
