ingredients
directions
1. In a small heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine the cream, 150g water, and granulated sugar very well and bring to a boil over high heat. Whisk in all the cocoa and return to a boil. Take off the heat. Rap the bottom of the container on the counter to remove large bubbles. Using a small teaspoon, gently plunge it into the center and stir slowly and gently in widening concentric circles while lifting the spoon gradually out into the surface. |
2. Cool the glacage to 110°F-- While the chocolate is cooling, sprinkle the gelatin over the 30g of water in a small bowl and leave to absorb all the water. Once the glacage is cool enough, microwave the gel on LOW for a few seconds until it dissolves. Stir the gel into the glacage gently but thoroughly. |
3. Cool the glacage to 75°F--Once it’s sufficiently cool, pour it through a fine-meshed sieve placed close to the surface of the cake until the whole top is covered. Place in the refrigerator to set. |
