How to Make Chocolate Luster Glaze

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine the heavy cream and glucose syrup. Heat over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until the glucose is completely dissolved and the mixture is smooth.
  2. Remove from heat and add the chopped chocolate. Let it sit for a minute to soften.
  3. Whisk gently until the chocolate is completely melted and the glaze is smooth and glossy. If it's too thick, add a teaspoon of warm water at a time until you reach your desired consistency.
  4. Let the glaze cool slightly until it thickens to a spreadable consistency (about 5-10 minutes).
  5. Dip your cooled gingerbread men or cookies into the glaze, allowing excess to drip off. Place them on a wire rack to set.
  6. Once the glaze has set completely (about 30 minutes), your beautifully decorated treats are ready to enjoy!
