DIRECTIONS Bloom the gelatin in cold water. This is quite a bit of gelatin so rather than sprinkling it on top of cold water, quickly stir them together. It should be a thick slurry. Heat the water, sugar, and condensed milk in a saucepan. Bring it just to a boil and turn off the heat. Stir in the vanilla and bloomed gelatin until it is fully dissolved. Place the chocolate in a bowl and pour the hot liquid over it. Let the mixture sit for a few minutes until the chocolate is fully melted. Using an immersion blender (or poured into a blender), process until it is very smooth. Be careful not to introduce too many bubbles since every minor imperfection will show on the surface. For the same reason, strain the glacage through a sieve to remove any stray particles. When the glacage has cooled to 90°F (32°C), it is ready to pour over your entremets. Use a stand or cooling rack to position the entremet and collect the excess below. You can save this and use it for future pours. Once poured over frozen entremets, the glacage will cool quickly. It will take about 15 minutes until it is fully cooled and solidified. It should be more like a soft ganache-like gel than a hard shell. Keyword Search #Mirrorglazecake #Cake #Satisfying
