This stuff is too cool! It is a cocoa glaze that you can pour over a cake or bombe to give it an intense chocolatey flavor and a glass-like shiny coating!

MIRROR GLAZE:

2 cups water
1 cup heavy cream
1 cup cocoa powder
1 cup sugar
3/4 oz. powdered gelatin

Bring the cream and water to a simmer.
Dissolve the remaining ingredients in the hot liquid.
Strain through a fine-mesh strainer.
Set over an ice bath until cool, slightly thickened, but still liquid.
Pour over cake, just as you would any other glaze.
Let set in refrigerator for approximately 30 minutes.
