    It is the perfect way to top a doughnut, strawberry, or even a great cake great. This is how to make your own Sugar Free Chocolate Glaze

    I recently decided to update this recipe Sugar Free Chocolate Glaze to make it a bit more 'health-friendly'.

    You will find the old recipe included for folks who are looking for it.

    Sugar Free Chocolate Glaze

     

    Sugar Free Chocolate Glaze

     
    This is the perfect way to top your favorite cake or baked goodie with some chocolate!
    I like just how easy it is to make this.
     

    If you are looking for the perfect way to top your Sugar Free Angel Food Cake (such as this one) with a bit of chocolate, this recipe may work for you.

    This glaze is almost like a cheat for an easy way to 'almost' frost a cake. You still get the covering of the cake yet, with less of an effort or ingredients.

     

    If you are confused about what is a glaze, here is a simple explanation.

    Technically, a glaze on food is a general term used to describe a flavored, usually sweet, coating that is somehow placed on food. The consistency of glaze is usually thin as it is applied by pouring, drizzling or even dipping.

    There is a difference between glazes and frostings.

    A frosting will have a dairy fat (such as butter) in it to make it thick enough in its consistency to spread over a cake. However, a glaze will have water or milk in it to make it thin for application.
     

    To make this icing you will need sugar free powdered sugar.

    You can find sugar free powdered sugar online. Since first posting this recipe there have been new sugar free powdered sugar products introduces.

    I also have a recipe for how to make your own sugar free powdered sugar.

    Also needed in this recipe is water. You can alternatively use milk or nut milk such as almond milk for a thicker texture.

     

    Here are some tips for making Sugar Free Chocolate Glaze.

    I just mentioned that you can use milk or almond milk instead of water in this recipe in order to thicken the texture. Also, I mentioned that you can make your own sugar free powdered sugar or buy sugar free powdered sugar online.

    Here are some more helpful tips for you.

    1. This recipe calls for vanilla extract. You can however change up the flavor by using another extract flavor instead. Ideas for other flavors include banana extract or maple extract.
    2. Sifting the dry ingredients in this recipe is an important step. Sifting helps add air to the ingredients which aids in the mixing of these ingredients.
    3. Add the water to the dry ingredients in small increments. This will help you regulate the consistency of the glaze. You may need to add additional liquid or you may not need to use all of the liquid.

     

    Here is how to put glaze on your cake.

    Glazes are usually intended to spread naturally on their own rather than be applied using an icing knife. The ingredients that you have added to the glaze should make it thin enough to be poured over the center of the cake using a small cup or large spoon. For best results, you should move the cake and/or the cup or spoon around as needed to cover the cake adequately.
