Ingredients
Method
Bring the water, sugar and glucose to the boil and cook to 103°c. Take off the heat and gently stir in condensed milk and glucose (we do not want to incorporate bubbles). Place the chocolate into a high sided jug and pour over the liquid and emulsify with a hand blender, keep it at the base of the jug to try to minimise bubbles. Strain. Allow to set over night in a refrigerator.
To use: gently reheat to 35-38°c and pour over a frozen mousse. Place in a refrigerator and allow to defrost.
Gold Spider glaze:
Mix all of the ingredients together. Warm up in a microwave to 50°c. Pour out onto a tray and dip your palette knife into the glaze and spread across your chocolate glaze as soon as you have glazed it.
