Chocolate Wine Glaze
I had so much fun learning about wine and tasting it with different foods that I was inspired to create a Chocolate Wine Glaze. While it doesn't bring me back to Kohler Food & Wine physically, it transports me back to a fabulously happy time. Super simple and so yum!
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
- ½ cup red wine, such as cabernet sauvignon
- 1 cup confectioners' sugar, plus more for serving
- ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- ½ cup chopped semi-sweet chocolate
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, combine the butter, wine, and confectioners' sugar. Gently bring to a boil, stirring occasionally.
- Remove from heat; stir in vanilla.
- Pour in chopped chocolate and stir to incorporate. Once chocolate glaze has cooled a bit (about 5 minutes), strain the glaze. (The easiest way to do that is place cheesecloth over top of a mason jar, press down for an indentation, then secure with a rubber band and pour.)
- Remove cheesecloth and bits of chocolate and pour strained glaze over chocolate cake.
