MIRROR GLAZE RECIPE

1 1/2 Cups | 300g Granulated Sugar
2/3 Cup | 200g Sweetened Condensed Milk
1/2 Cup + 1 Tablespoon | 150 ml Water
2 Tablespoons | 20g Gelatin Powder
1/2 Cup | 125 ml Water
2 Cups | 350g White Chocolate Chips
Gel Food Coloring
Frozen Cake

Add the sugar, sweetened condensed milk, and water to a medium sized saucepan and heat over medium low heat, stirring occasionally.
Pour the water into the powdered gelatin and mix with a spoon. Leave to swell for a few minutes.
When the sugar, sweetened condensed milk, and water begins to simmer remove from the heat and add the swelled gelatin. Stir until the gelatin has dissolved.
Pour the hot liquid on top of the chocolate chips and leave to sit for 5 minutes to melt.
Use a whisk to stir the glaze until the chocolate has completely melted.
Add the gel food coloring and stir until well mixed. Leave the glaze to cool.
Once the glaze has cooled to 37C | 90F pour it over the frozen cake which is on top of a cup sitting on a tray to catch the drips.
Leave the glaze to set for 15 minutes before using a spatula to remove the drips.
Transfer the cake to the fridge to set for a few hours before serving.

I made it and it was very easy. First, I didn't use white chocolate, I used candy melts. It works just fine. Made a normal chocolate cake and use butter cream, chilled for 10 min and poured the mirror glaze. Wonderful. Now I am going to make it for my friends on their birthdays. Thank u Carina yours was for me the most easy and well explained.

[Pablo-pdgr]

I have just made mirror glaze for the first time in my life, using your recipe and it has turned out perfect. Thanks for the great recipe!!! It is easy to understand and follow😉 Good luck!

[berlitzjoseph]

i love that you also give the recipe in grams, thank you so much!

[candymthembu]

Wow thank you so much for this wonderful recipe❤️ I tried it and it came out so beautiful and it's tastes amazing. My clients really loved it. Thank you so much 🥰❤️🙏

[dianrania]

You are great at your simple but effective explanation!!!! Love and appreciate😊. Been searching for an easier sensible recipe for mirror glaze…..thank God for you😊😊😊

I made this last night; wow, it actually worked out perfectly. I did a strawberry cake. I thought to myself that since I had enough sweetened condensed milk in the can to double the mirror glaze then sure, I will double it. 🙄 I didn’t realize that I did not have enough of the white chocolate chips. So I improvised and mixed a small amt of the sw/ cond/ milk mixture with regular chocolate chips. So I poured the chocolate mirror glaze on first, let it sit for a few minutes; then poured the rest which I had separated into thirds - teal, indigo, and deep purple. It looked beautiful. Nobody, other than me, liked the taste; so I probably won’t make it again. But that was fun.

man I love this! I never show my husband recipes, but this one I did. he got excited, said, "oh, well!" and said, "you should make it and bring it to the next get together." so that says a lot!

[noneofyourbusiness]

FINALLY A MIRROR GLAZE THAT ACTUALLY WORKS! THANKS A LOT FOR SHARING THIS RECIPE😻

[larakessler]

Fantastic tutorial and she even tells you things to watch out for so that it comes out perfect. Great!

[Asmae_sweets]

hey i only have sheets of gelatin can i use it and what is the amount

[jesseka]

Easiest cake I've ever made. I did a black and white marble to cover the dark cake I had underneath, and you cannot see threw it at all. the flavor is just what you would think, by using sugar, and condensed milk. It is sweet, but its a thin glaze so it does not go overboard. please DO NOT doubt yourself like I did on making this cake, glazing it was the easiest "decorating" you'll ever do. Don't panic if you run out of glaze either, just re-use what drips off

Hi Carina. Thanks for the recipe. I've made it using Agar Agar and it turned out great. It's a bit messy to work with but that's nothing when compared to the finishing the glaze gave to my cake. Not forgetting how delicious it was. For people who want to make it using Agar Agar, just use lesser amount than the suggested Gelatin volume. I used the same amount and the glaze got too thick. I had to add some hot water to make it pour-able. Prepare Agar with water (same measurements as for Gelatin). While mixing it to the sugar mix, keep checking the consistency. Remember, when the glaze cools down it's going to thicken more.
And what more, I had to freeze the cake for an hour but the glaze remained as shiny as it was before.
Thanks Carina Stewart once again.

[yvelyntey]

How do you keep the excess mirror glaze? Can I put it in the fridge and microwave it again to reuse? Also how long can I keep it for? Thank u! Love the video!

[realtormary]

Thanks for sharing this recipe. May you pls enlighten me on how you bake the cake.

[katrinp]

Just curious why some recipes require for corn syrup/glucose syrup and some not? Can't wait to try your recipe, thank you for sharing :)

[coralcox]

Really amazing ! Thank you for this, could you tell me if I can use leaf gelatin instead of powdered ? Thank you.

[cheftylermarsh]

BRAVO!!!! GREAT JOB! Much love from the States!

[sumayazamasyed]

Thank you so much for this recipe..was searching for it..will definitely give it a try

[NappyBeMe]

Thank you Carina!! This is wonderful news! I love when I can create a new, spectacular and delicious dessert! I was worried but temperature, melting etc. but a quick transport from point A to B...I'm golden!

And now, I am super excited to try this because I just realized-- I also have a couple of cans of Bordon's CHOCOLATE condensed milk. I wanted a different application for it (instead of making some basic ice cream, pie or fudge) and you have definitely gave me one.

Thank you for your fast reply and such a beautiful dessert.

[georgettenavarro]

Wow! Awesome! You only used wire whisk to blend it and it is still perfect! You re my lifesaver. Im looking for recipe that doesnt need immersion blender cuz i dont have that. I thought i can use regular blender but wire whisk is fine so thanks!
