Course Dessert
Servings 2 cups

Ingredients
  

  • 1 ⅓ cup (160g) powdered sugar
  • ¾ cup (125g) milk chocolate chips
  • ¾ cup (125g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 tsp olive or avocado oil
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • ¼ tsp salt

Instructions
 

  • Sift powdered sugar through a sifter or fine metal mesh sieve to remove lumps and set aside.
  • Create a double-broiler with a glass mixing bowl that when sitting on top of the saucepan is a few inches from the bottom of the saucepan. Fill the saucepan with a few inches of water (but not enough to touch the glass mixing bowl!).
  • In the mixing bowl, combine chocolate, oil and milk and melt over low-medium heat. Stir occasionally.
  • When this mixture is smooth, remove from heat and add the powdered sugar. If there are still any lumps, place bowl back on the saucepan for a few minutes and stir occasionally until the mixture is smooth then remove from heat again.
  • Stir in salt and vanilla extract.
  • Let this mixture cool until it thickens but is still spreadable. You can speed this process up by placing the bowl in the fridge for up to 15 minutes.
  • Use a cookie scoop to place topping on cookies then spread with an offset spatula or transfer to a glass liquid measuring cup to pour over a bundt cake.
  • After topping cake or cookies, let the glaze set before you enjoy (approximately one hour). Leftovers can be refrigerated in an air-tight container but the glaze will harden when cool so you will need to reheat to make it spreadable again.
